I wouldn't be surprised if these police reveal that Nancy Pelosi ordered the Capitol police to let the protesters inside.

Funny how he's not addressing the plenty Republicans who weren't impressed with any of it. Carlson and Fox have a bad enough reputation as it is lately and forced laughter ain't helping any...
Good call, way 2 go.

Here's a transcript of Tucker's words beginning at 5:54:

Those videos touch a nerve because they're a threat to the lies that Chuck Schumer has been telling for the last 26 months; and not just Chuck Schumer. We should also tell you that Chuck Schumer, the Senate Majority Leader, was joined in this outrage, by the Senate Minority Leader; and that would be a Republican, Mitch McConnell. And they were joined by a cascade of other Republicans: Tom Tillis, from North Carolina; Mitt Romney, from Utah--all sharing the same outrage.


In addition to Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell, Tucker has obviously touched a nerve with @Arthur Brain, too.🤣

What's great about all of this is that it is finally forcing MAGA to deal with its RINO problem!

What's "MAGA"--I mean, I know that's an acronym of "Make America Great Again", but to what or whom are you referring by it here? And what exactly is "its RINO problem"? Do explain what you mean. What are you trying to get at? I'm curious as to exactly what you're saying is "great".

The term "MAGA" refers to the hard right wing of the Republican Party. Basically, Trump supporters.

And what exactly is "its RINO problem"? Do explain what you mean. What are you trying to get at?
Are you implying that you don't have a problem with the likes of Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, and so on?

I'm curious as to exactly what you're saying is "great".
A civil war in the Republican Party, between its two major factions, is just what this country needs. Don't believe me? Ask anybody.

What do you mean?
"RINO" stands for "Republican in name only." Basically, RINOs are phony Republicans who tend to side more with Democrats. As such, RINOs are the Trojan horse army of the Demonrats whose job it is to sabotage as much of the MAGA agenda as possible.

There can be no peace between MAGAs and RINOs. They are natural enemies of each other. Each believes that the other must be destroyed for the good of the country.

RINOs are pure evil. Spread the word!
you cannot support Trump unless you are willing to compromise with evil.
The term "MAGA" refers to the hard right wing of the Republican Party. Basically, Trump supporters.
So, are those whom you call "MAGA" pure evil, too?
A civil war in the Republican Party, between its two major factions, is just what this country needs. Don't believe me? Ask anybody.
A civil war between pure evil and pure evil? Is that what you're saying the country needs? Which side would you take in a war between pure evil and pure evil? Or, would you rather consider it ridiculous to take a side? Remember when John Fetterman declared that "the Eagles are so much better than the Eagles"? Do you agree with him, or do you side with the Eagles?

And the two faced clown is under all sorts of rightly deserved fire for it:




Washington — The family of U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who died following the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol, rebuked Fox News and host Tucker Carlson after he aired selected unseen footage of the attack to falsely claim the media and congressional investigators misled the public about the events, including the circumstances of Sicknick's death.
In a statement provided to CBS News, Sicknick's family said they are "outraged at the ongoing attack" by Fox News and accused Carlson of cherry-picking footage from the Jan. 6 riot that "supports his delusional views that" it 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," the Sicknick family said.
They accused Fox News of doing the bidding of former President Donald Trump and "his sycophant followers," while ignoring the damage done to families of U.S. Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police officers who were harmed on Jan. 6 by the violent mob of Trump's supporters who breached the building in an attempt to thwart the transfer of presidential power.
"FOX has shown time and time again that they are little more than the propaganda arm of the Republican Party and like Pravda, will do whatever they are told to keep the hatred and the lies flowing while suppressing anything resembling the truth," the family said. "Fox does this not for any sense of morality as they have none, but for the quest for every penny of advertising money they can get from those who buy airtime from them."


One of the reader comments sums up the far right to a tee:


Anyone with an IQ over 40 knew exactly what Tucker Clansman was going to do with the footage. He was going to spin, spin, and spin it to his selectively outraged audience. There’s a reason he targets conservatives. They’re the most uninformed, gullible people on earth.
Leftist leaders have to maintain their lies about voter fraud and the false insurrection conspiracy theory because their reputations and political futures depend on propping up those lies.

This is why you are not worth bothering with and are just another far right wingnut with as much footing in reality as any given speaker at the latest CPAC cringe fest. Both articles are from today and similar is all over the media. Those who attacked Sicknick are serving time and your glib remarks will now be appropriately filed in the circumspect place. And now - you're going on ignore. Feel free to waste further time addressing me if ya like. Be yours to waste.
Sicknick did not die from a fire extinguisher head wound no matter what President Biden and his supporters falsely claim to the contrary.

Understandably, the US Capitol police chief isn't too impressed with Fox & Carlson either...


"The program conveniently cherry-picked from the calmer moments of our 41,000 hours of video," Manger wrote in the letter. "The commentary fails to provide context about the chaos and violence that happened before or during these less tense moments."


Manger continued, "Finally, the most disturbing accusation from last night was that our late friend and colleague Brian Sicknick’s death had nothing to do with his heroic actions on January 6. The Department maintains, as anyone with common sense would, that had Officer Sicknick not fought valiantly for hours on the day he was violently assaulted, Officer Sicknick would not have died the next day."

Sicknick’s mother and two brothers responded to Carlson's characterization of the officer's death by saying the host's "'truth' is to pick and choose footage that supports his delusional views that the Jan 6th Insurrection was peaceful."

Carlson said on his show that Democrats lied about Sicknick's death and played video that he said showed Sicknick walking around inside the Capitol after the mob attacked him. "They knew he was not murdered by the mob, but they claimed it anyway," said Carlson, referring to members of the media and the Jan. 6 committee.

Sicknick, who was 42 years old, died of natural causes after the Jan. 6 attack, but Washington, D.C.'s chief medical examiner said that what transpired during the attack played a role in his death.
People either know they are lying or else they lie because they are deceived and believe the lies they are unwittingly telling. Let's get Ray Epps back before republican House investigators and let's force the FBI to release records they are still hiding that can shed light on the matter instead of allowing the left to obstruct justice and the investigation.

And more...


Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), who was one of the members on the Jan. 6 committee, is among those who have raised security concerns over the release of the footage, noting it could be used to map the Capitol and the evacuation path of lawmakers.

He called Carlson’s show and conspiracies about Jan. 6 pushed through his documentary a “central part of the GOP agenda and playbook as they try to get Donald Trump elected to the White House again.”

“They didn’t even apparently honor their agreement with the Capitol Police to provide the clips in advance. So there can be some attempt to contextualize whatever silly potshots they’re taking,” he told The Hill.

“The absurd part is they act like their fragmented and disoriented potshots from Capitol security footage are the only documentary record of what happened. There are thousands and thousands of hours that have already been published – not just security footage – but also [by] media that were present and insurrectionists themselves. The whole world was watching and everyone knows exactly what happened. They are involved in a fraudulent enterprise here,” he added.

Among the unfounded theories Carlson floated in his Monday program were suggestions that federal agents helped incite the violence, though he stopped short of providing evidence to prove it. He also cast doubt on the circumstances surrounding the death of Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick.

It was something Manger deemed “the most disturbing accusation from last night” in asserting his death “had nothing to do with heroic actions on Jan. 6.”

“The department maintains, as anyone with common sense would, that had Officer Sicknick not fought valiantly for hours on the day he was violently assaulted, Officer Sicknick would not have died the next day,” the chief said.
Of course lying leftists will claim releasing the truth about Jan 6 will be bad and wrong for America.
