.TuckerCarlson debuted his first segment featuring security footage of the Jan 6 riot on Monday, showcasing it as “mostly peaceful chaos.” Here are the top 5 things to know about the footage how congressional Dems are responding.
Carlson gained access to the surveillance video after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy agreed to hand over more than 41,000 hours of footage as part of his concessions to be elected speaker in January. The trove of video evidence includes camera access from several angles on the Capitol grounds that was exclusively given to Carlson’s crew despite requests from other news outlets to obtain the footage.
While walking around, video footage does not appear to show any of the officers intervening — prompting Carlson to accuse Capitol Police of being complicit “as his tour guides.” It’s not clear from the video whether Chansley and the officers engaged in conversations, as there is no audio in the tapes.
One way to know for sure would be to examine internal memos and communications between USCP officers before, during, and after the riot to understand the chain of command, Stanton said.Carlson also accused Democrats of lying about several aspects of the Jan. 6 riot, including the death of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick. Sicknick died of natural causes one day after the Capitol riot, but an autopsy report ruled that “all that transpired played a role in his condition.
“Tucker Carlson claims that Fox has been looking over the video feeds from the Capitol, with full access supplied by our disgusting excuse for a House Speaker for the truth,” his family wrote in a scathing statement. “Carlson’s ‘truth’ is to pick and choose footage that supports his delusional views that the Jan. 6th insurrection was peaceful. … Every time the pain of that day seems to have ebbed a bit, organizations like Fox rip our wounds wide open again and we are frankly sick of it.
USCP Chief Thomas Manger also hit Carlson, noting his team"never reached out to the Department to provide accurate context." Schumer also placed blame on McCarthy, decrying the House speaker as being “every bit as culpable” for making the footage available.The Democratic leader then urged Fox News to stop Carlson from airing additional footage, specifically calling out media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
