Last night, millions of Americans tuned into one of the most shameful hours we have ever seen on cable television.

With contempt for the facts, disregard of the risks, and knowing full well he was lying to his audience, Fox News host Tucker Carlson ran a lengthy segment arguing the January 6 Capitol attack was not a violent insurrection.

By diving deep into the waters of conspiracy, and cherry picking from thousands of hours of security footage, Mr Carlson told the bald faced lie that the Capitol attack,which we also with their own eyes, somehow, not an attack at all.

The Democrats wanted to hide the video so they could lie to Americans.

He tried to argue it was nothing more than a peaceful sightseeing tour. Can you imagine, a non-violent demonstration,a perfectly fine and appropriate instance of people expressing their opinion? I so many others who were here in the Capitol, and millions and millions of Americans are just furious with Tucker Carlson and Kevin McCarthy today.

Many of my staff were here at the Capitol on January 6, their lives were put in danger, as were the lives of many of my colleagues, as well as police, maintenance staff, reporters, countless others.

To say January 6 was not violent is a lie. A lie pure and simple. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a primetime cable news anchor manipulate his viewers the way Mr Carlson did last night.

Just as we suspected he would do.

He said not everyone that went in was violent. Not every person that went in were arrested either. The video shows many of them were ushered in by police and were acting more like a tourist. Those citizens should certainly be treated differently than the ones smashing windows and carrying weapons, no?
 
I have heard the name Ray Epps before, this is the first time I saw a video that makes me want to know more

If even a single deep state actor was helping promote violence, I want to know.

Don't liberals want to know if we had insiders trying to encourage violence?

Ray Epps has never been arrested . Since he was clearly inciting a riot why would the FBI not arrest him if he wasn't one of their assets at the Capitol on 1/6.
