Taking his Jan. 6 denialism to another level on Tuesday night, Fox News host Tucker Carlson suggested the Capitol insurrection was a false flag orchestrated by the FBI in an effort to “suppress political dissent.”
Almost since the moment that former President Donald Trump incited thousands of MAGA supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol in order to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s election victory, Carlson has downplayed the violent riots, repeatedly insisting there was “no insurrection” and that it was nothing more than a “political protest that got out of hand.”
At the same time, the far-right Fox News star has rallied to the defense of the Capitol rioters, portraying them as largely peaceful protesters while raging against federal prosecutors for the hundreds of criminal charges filed in the wake of the insurrection. With more rioters still facing potential indictments, many have taken to cooperating with the feds to avoid or lessen jail time.
And according to Carlson, the reason why the government has “thrown the book” at some rioters and not others is because of a deep state plot to control the political narrative.
Taking aim at Attorney General Merrick Garland for announcing a new strategy to combat domestic terrorism and violent extremism in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack, Carlson said this was just further proof that the government wants to “crush anyone who leads opposition to” Biden.
After invoking Russian President Vladimir Putin’s latest whataboutism argument about the Capitol riots, which featured Putin referencing Capitol rioter Ashli Babbit’s death to deflect answering a question about jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, Carlson declared that Putin raised “fair questions.”
“Who did shoot Ashli Babbitt and why don’t we know?” Carlson added. “Are anonymous federal agents now allowed to kill unarmed women who protest the regime?

George Webb had footage of the gates being opened by the capitol police.
Do you really think that if he were constantly wrong that he would have a prime time television show?
That conclusion doesn’t really hold up. CNN, MSDNC, ABC, NBC, and CBS still exist.
I saw that. We should be donating attorney fees for protestors who are getting the book thrown at them by the feds. There should be a gofundme link.
They used it all the time during Rona. A conservative would ask why church, even outdoors, was prohibited but a thousand person BLM March was celebrated.
Instead of trying to justify it they just scream “stop your whataboutism and stay home and wear your mask”
He just got ear rubs, belly skritches and neck hug, from you.
Odd thing, he is extremely friendly to people and it was *way* out of character for him to want to throw down, like he did.
He knew *something*.
Darren Beattie says the same thing.

To support the FBI now, thinking that there are “99% good ones”, is just plain stupid. Probably, all patriots within the FBI have resigned.
They are getting dry elaborate with Nancy’s wrap up smears.
OMG he is a beauty absolutely handsome boy!!!
Good Dog! Cute gal.
Maddening!
He read your body language regarding the #ABR scum, and that was all it took.
Okay, I read the entirety of this nitwit’s article. Not once did he refute anything Carlson said — he merely recited Carlson’s words and made snarky comments. Is this reporter a grade schooler?
Impossible.
I didn’t even know they were there until after we got out of the car.
He literally started going berserk, growling, barking, biting and clawing at the rear passenger window as soon as we pulled into the parking lot and I was facing away from the street.
I thought he’d suddenly lost his ever loving mind and gone Full Cujo on me. LOL
*He* knows scum when he sees them.
:D
Nice! Again!
