Tucker Carlson’s show was the largest platform I’ve had to speak on to date. When I was called to do the show I was stunned. This was back in late February and I was still trying to figure out the best way to navigate through the situation.

When I got to Florida and spoke to Tucker off camera I didn’t tell him much more than he already knew. The reason was because I didn’t want to be in the center of this controversy. I just wanted to say enough to spark an investigation into the actions of Assistant Chief Yogananda Pittman and Chief J. Thomas Manger and then move on. Thinking back on it now, there was no way I could not be in the center of this and I should have just told Tucker everything I knew and let him decide what to air.

I was also concerned that Tucker would not believe me. Me (a life long Democrat who is black) claiming that Assistant Chief Pittman (a black female) was MOSTLY responsible for what occurred on J6 and that Chief Manger was brought in to cover up the horrific actions by Pittman, ensuring some who demonstrated at the Capitol that day would remain in prison (some innocent or charged more harshly than they should have been) for the purpose of ensuring the narrative of J6 remained as a bunch of red-necked, uneducated white people storming the U.S. Capitol for the purpose of insurrection. This would ensure Pittman’s failures would be charged to former President Donald J. Trump.

Had I told Tucker all of that in February I believed he would have thought I was an insane conspiracy theorist and I didn’t want to risk him not airing my segment. I’m sure there are things I could have done differently but I’ve never had to navigate through a cover-up of this magnitude. Thank you all for listening.
