Last month, Fox News’ Tucker Carlson was granted exclusive access to the trove of more than 44,000 hours of Capitol surveillance footage by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. On Monday night Carlson released the first installment of his analysis of the tapes, telling viewers that the vast majority of the protestors who breached the Capitol on Jan. 6 were not insurrectionists but “orderly and meek” sightseers.

Carlson opened his Monday night monologue by reiterating the network’s claims of 2020 election malfeasance, stating that the “2020 election was a grave betrayal of American democracy given the facts that have since emerged about that election. No honest person can deny it.”

From that jumping point, Carlson used cherry picked, time-stamp free clips to paint a picture of peaceful protesters who were being targeted by the Department of Justice and the Democratic party. Carlson’s use of the footage essentially amounted to a declaration that because Fox had identified some images of trespassers milling about, nothing uncouth actually happened in the Capitol on Jan. 6.

The Fox host and his guests crafted an image of peaceful protesters, who were ushered into the Capitol by police officers and spent their time exploring the complex with an air of “reverence.” Charlie Hurt, appearing as a guest on the show, falsely asserted that there was “no evidence” rioters inside the capitol were armed.

Carlson declared that members of the Jan. 6 Committee “lied about what they saw and then hid the evidence from the public, as well as from January 6th criminal defendants and their lawyers.”

The episode rehashed many of the issues Carlson had previously covered, the death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, the suspected affiliation of protester Ray Epps with federal law enforcement, and the death of Ashli Babbitt, who Carlson said his team was unable to obtain footage of.

Bizarrely enough, the episode featured plenty of images of rioters battering through police lines, breaking through windows and doors, and fighting with cops. Carlson would use this footage to claim that images of violent rioters were a propaganda tool used to paint all of the rioters as violent, when the majority were simply milling about the Capitol. If one looks at the scope of charges brought against those who unlawfully entered the Capitol on Jan. 6, the narrative crumbles. Only about half of the estimated 2,000 participants have been charged, a majority of those with non-violent offenses including trespassing, disorderly conduct, and obstructing an official proceeding. Relatively few of those found guilty have been sentenced to prison.

McCarthy’s decision to provide exclusive access to the footage to Carlson and his team prompted bipartisan backlash against the pair, especially given Carlson’s well established habit of obfuscating and downplaying the events of Jan. 6 on air.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called the decision “an egregious security breach that endangers the hardworking women and men of the United States Capitol Police,” in a memo to House Democrats, and told CNN that it was “not clear” to him that law enforcement had the chance to vet the footage and assess any security risks before Carlson was given access.

Other Republican operatives expressed outrage that the footage had been given exclusively to Fox News. MyPillow CEO previously told Rolling Stone that he planned to sue for access. Newsmax host Eric Bolling, another longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, wondered on air “why not other media? Why not Newsmax? Why did he just give one host, on one cable network, this information?”

The answer is relatively clear: Carlson has spent the past two years muddying the waters around the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. His claims range from untrue assertions that those who broke down the doors of the Capitol to try and prevent certification of President Joe Biden were just “elderly people who showed up with signs,” to calling the entire event a “false flag” attack.

In November 2021, Carlson produced a three-part “documentary” titled Patriot Purge, which argued that Jan. 6 — and the consequences for its participants — were part of a domestic war on terror against conservatives and an attempted purge of “legacy Americans.” The heavily produced series went so far as to compare the arrest of participants in the riot to the torture and abuse of inmates in Abu Ghraib prison.

Carlson’s own treatment of the events of Jan. 6 is the vanguard of a large-scale effort by Republicans to rewrite the events of the day, an effort that stems from the highest echelons of the party.

During the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, McCarthy called Trump and begged him to call off the rioters, and shortly after said that the former president “bears responsibility” for the attack in a speech on the House floor, despite having voted against Biden’s certification himself. In the years since, McCarthy and the GOP’s focus has shifted to ensuring their own asses are covered from the consequences of the Capitol attack.

House Republicans have been linked to meetings and planning sessions with the organizers of the rally-turned-riot, and more than 100 members of the Republican caucus supported efforts by Trump to usurp the 2020 election results. The Jan. 6 Select Committee voted to make ethics referrals against House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), and Scott Perry (R-Pa.).

It’s in this climate that McCarthy handed thousands of hours of footage to a Fox News production team, at a time when the network itself is facing intense public scrutiny for their role in spreading false election claims and conspiracies.

Fox News is being sued by Dominion Voting Systems, who is seeking damages for spreading harmful conspiracies about the company’s role in the 2020 election. A February filing revealed that many of the network’s stars, including Carlson, privately bashed the conspiracies being pushed by their guests and themselves on air. In a Nov. 13, 2021 text message conversation to his producers, Carlson stated that Trump needs to “concede” and  “that there wasn’t enough fraud to change the outcome.” Yet, throughout the preceding week Carlson and his guests had boosted claims of election fraud on his program.

In a separate filing released in late February, Fox Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch admitted in a deposition that hosts on the network had endorsed claims of election fraud despite pushback from Fox’s board. Murdoch acknowledged that he could have reined in the network’s coverage, but instead pushed back against hosts and analysts who denounced the conspiracies being aired on the channel.

Through the Dominion lawsuit, it looks like at least some of the chickens may be coming home to collect payment from Fox. The network’s long-held legal mantra that their hosts are “entertainers” who cannot be trusted by audiences to deliver truthful coverage may shatter, but the network’s reputation remains. McCarthy chose to give the footage to Carlson precisely because Carlson would treat it in the manner most beneficial to the GOP’s narrative about Jan. 6.

U.S. Capitol Police acted as “tour guides” for Jacob Chansley, the infamous “Q Shaman,” during the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, according to video footage released by Tucker Carlson on Fox News on Monday evening.

Carlson and his producers were given nearly 41,000 hours of footage from January 6 by new Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), after Democrats had suppressed it, releasing only what they wanted to be seen

much of it showed people moving through the Capitol peacefully, often being escorted by members of the Capitol Police, who did not confront them but rather opened doors for them.

The video evidence wasn’t hidden or suppressed 😌 Blockhead Carlson just doesn’t know how to use Google or Twitter: 

The evidence has been public the entire time for anyone to view. You just have to know how to find it.

It was indeed, until the feds started firing mace and tear gas into the crowd (it’s on film). They wanted to provoke a reaction and they got one. The cops were then ordered to open the doors (also on film). Lastly, to put the cherry on top, the Nationals Guard was told to stand down. The whole thing was setup by the left so there’d be a reason to demonize the right. 

[Crusader12-0]

This is not Nicholas Cage movie, this is real life, you don’t just prance around DC (one of the worlds most secure cities) and go wherever you’d like. The demonstrators got into the building because someone let them in.

Plus if you think a rag tag group in Viking suits had a chance to overthrow the US govt w/o weapons, you are too stupid to even try reasoning with.

LOL...someone let them in??...that's a new one?...you didn't see them breaking windows?? or breaking doors down...you guys need to believe your own eyes and stop listening to Tucker's nonsense.

A bunch of them had weapons. Some were spotted in trees with guns by D.C. cops when Trump was giving his speech. That's why Trump was begging security to remove the metal detectors during his speech. Trump knew the crowd was armed and he sent them to harm Mike Pence....the guy he called a pussy...and hockey sticks, bats. clubs. bear spray and flag poles seem to have worked pretty well that day...just ask any D.C. cop who was there.

The videos showing the guided tours confirmed what we already knew. That this was never an insurrection. It was a peaceful stroll around the capitol with some drunk red necks making asses out of themselves and they had to pay the price for the problems they caused. No different than the Summer of 2020 riots they told us were peaceful with burning buildings in the background. We were told don’t let the sins of a few outweigh the peaceful protestors. It was the same exact scenario but the protestors vote different so they should be crushed. I haven’t heard a peep of left wing domestic terrorists in Georgia bombing a police training facility. Biden, Stacy Abrams or the 2 dem Senators haven’t said one word about this domestic terror. And that’s what they were charged with.

January 6th was a Hall of Fame performance in fake outrage

Not me. You said from day one that anyone who broke a law should be punished for said crime. Whatever the typical punishment is for the specific crime they committed. I have been consistent from jump. It’s obvious to anyone that some people committed crimes, and some did not. You want to lump any republican who was in DC that day as one of the same and that’s just braindead. I guess that makes you Antifa my guy. You support that stuff. Traitor.

I remember when peaceful protestors attempted an insurrection on J6... 

And Mcarthy and Carlson downplayed it... 

Meanwhile the nation watched the MAGA maniacs go on a gentle tour as one of them tried to break into the congress chambers to shake hands with their heroes... 

Or the good guy who took the speakers podium and walked out with it with a smile on his face... 

Or the guy kicked up on Pelosi's Desk... 

Or the massive wave of people in DC that bought into Trump's lie... 

It was all a fever dream... 

The CIA spiked the countries water with acid... 

The MAGA contingent would never do such a thing as storm the capital... 

NEVER 

The MAGA contingent is the last bastion of hope for this country they'd never and I mean never do something like that... 

They're the real victims of a corrupt government trying to frame them... 

Shame on you lefties....
