Tucker Carlson Bizarrely Suggests Capitol Insurrection Was Orchestrated by FBI
Daily Beast ^ | Jun. 15, 2021 | Justin Baragona

Posted on 06/15/2021 8:14:28 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

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?

As I said, it might not have started out that way,but was just may be something he lost control over due to better operatives.

No. It definitely didn't 'start out that way'. McInness is the furthest thing from an FBI derp as you can get.

And it wasn't 'taken over' by the FBI, either.

They were most assuredly 'inviltrated', cause that's what the FBI does. But no FBI were 'calling the shots'.

Proud Boys is a loosely connected group of patriots from all over the country. They, like Q, is one of the groups that derps like to use as a scapegoat and boogey man. Because that's what THEY do.

Why are you helping them?

With freinds like you, the FBI don't have to infiltrate anybody.

Please stop making stuff up and making the FBI derps' job easier. We got enough problemos, n'est-ce pas?

Look at Wuhan Lab Theory. They said that it was not true. Everyone knows it is what happened. So Carlson is right. But does it matter? Dr. Fauci is still at NIH even though he’s the “mastermind” of COVID-19 Pandemic, so to speak.

This is more interesting Wray saying they categorized everyone at Jan 6th into peaceful, not peaceful and terrorists. The end is good to where a reporter talked to and FBI investigating Jan 6 says the investigators have no control over the investigation. its all from Washington

The very night the WuFluCoup crap was first posted here on FR, I KNEW what was coming.

It was a set up plotted to deny Trump the second term he WON.

I have been pissed off every second of every day since November 3.

The one pitiful bit of satisfaction I've had, throughout this nightmare, was the day the Trump swag bus came to Berkeley Springs.

I took the boy over, hoping to get him some merch but as soon as we pulled into the parking lot, he was uncharacteristically enraged.

I thought "Great. I can't have him near the other Trumpers, now"

When I took him out of the car for a pee break, I saw what was enraging him.

Across the street a pack of liberal hyenas were gathering, about to cross and harass the Trumpers.

The boy wanted their guts for garters.

So we went up to the bus anyway, where he loved on all the Trumpers and was loved back.

They had no dog stuff so they gave him a free t shirt, which doesn't really fit him.

I was trying to get a good "souvenir" photo of us in front of the bus but he would not take his eyes off the Demoncrats 100 feet away...and he was snarling.

For some crazy reason, the Dems changed their minds about attacking the Trumpers and wandered off, yelling obscenities.

[go figure]

We stayed until the bus packed up, *just in case*.

Good boy. Knows evil when he sees it.

>>Lost faith in the FBI a while back.

Yeah, like after Waco and Ruby Ridge. And the whole Whitey Bulger thing didn’t help.

Under Questioning in the Senate FBI Director Wray claimed he did not know how the over 500 political prisoners in the DC Gulag are being treated. He also claimed they are being given due process. So when is he going to be prosecuted for this obvious perjury?

Virtually every terrorist operation is instigated by the FBI for the purpose of entrapment.

The Las Vegas shooting stinks of their involvement. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the feebs themselves pulling the triggers up in that hotel.
