Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) says Fox News made “a mistake” by depicting Jan. 6, 2021, as a largely peaceful if chaotic protest, a revision of history that the Capitol Police chief criticized as “offensive” and “misleading.”
McConnell told reporters that he endorsed Police Chief Tom Manger’s criticism that Fox host Tucker Carlson “cherry-picked” calmer moments from the violent day failed to provide context about the chaos and violence that happened in the Capitol.
“I want to associate myself entirely with the opinion of the chief of the Capitol police about what happened on Jan. 6,” McConnell told reporters Tuesday, holding up a copy of the police chief’s statement.
McConnell said “my concern is how it was depicted” on Carlson’s highly-rated show.
“Clearly the chief of the Capitol Police, in my view, correctly described what most of us witnessed first hand on Jan. 6,” he said.
“It was a mistake, in my view, [for] Fox News to depict this in a way completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official in the Capitol” described, McConnell said.

AOC is still wetting her bed over it.
Mitch: The lights are very dimmed, and nobody is home.
ALL, and I mean all the right people are nervous.
Capitol Police escorting people into the building isn’t exactly what I would call a riot. More like a guided tour with a few people wandering from the herd to see things for themselves.
McConnell and SCHUMERdifferent sides of the same coin!
The beauty of Trump - he’s forced all the swamp creatures into the open.
It is a video, it depicts the actual event. So you think we should believe what someone tells us to believe, someone with a biased reason to lie, over what the video shows. You are a hateful lying evil man to say such things Cocaine Mitch!
ALL these miserable bassturds are running for cover now.....LOL
The “insurrection” fraudsters are squealing like stuck pigs today.
So McConnell just admitted he’s a dyed-in-the-wool liberal democrat.....
Its amazing to watch these folks try and gaslight the public. They really think we are retarded. But then again at least half of the USA is mentally incapacitated.
Instead of going after the clowns who ran a 2 year fakenews fishing trip full of propaganda costing millions and millions of dollars, good old Turtle going with the uniparty again.
Like he underplayed the massive and historic illegal operation at our Southern border and failed to get Trump funding for the border wall?
Kentuckians, I beg of you! Get a decent primary opponent for this jerk and help our country out!
This is why McCarthy should release all of it on the internet TODAY
+1
Sod Off, married-to-a-Chicom, Never-Trumper Swampy Mitch.
And the January 6 committee cherrypicked the video segments to present a one-sided view, but I heard no condemnation from Mitch.
The “violence” was perpetrated by YOUR Fed infiltrator Antifa recruits.
Mitch McConnell makes a mistake every time he opens his mouth.
