A handful of Senate Republicans are pushing back on Fox News host Tucker Carlson after he characterized the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol as “mostly peaceful chaos.'
Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer, a North Dakota conservative, said he was in the Capitol on Jan. 6 and firmly rejected Carlson's portrayal of that day as “some rowdy peaceful protest of Boy Scouts.”
, Cramer said the speaker could have given it to “all sources equally,” rather than “one who is particularly good at conservative entertainment.” “It’s a very dangerous thing to do, to suggest that attacking the Capitol of the United States is in any way acceptable and it’s anything other than a serious crime, against democracy and against our country," Romney said."And people saw that it was violent and destructive and should never happen again. But trying to normalize that behavior is dangerous and disgusting.”“I was there on Jan. 6. I saw what happened. I saw the aftermath. There was violence on Jan.
bombs that were planted at the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee headquarters"I think the Jan. 6 committee had a partisan view of things, and I'd like to know more about what happened that day and the day before," Graham added."But I'm not interested in whitewashing the Covid lab theory, and I'm not interested in whitewashing Jan. 6."
What didn’t appear on Carlson’s program Monday evening was video showing police and rioters engaged in extended violent clashes. About 140 police officers were assaulted that day.
