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?

400 unarmed people is not an insurrection, even Vladimir Putin recognizes that is a farce.
Is it bizarre?
The Proud Boys were an FBI operation.
Set up an operation to attract a certain crowd, use paid informants and agitators to influence the more unstable to commit crimes and arrest those who commit crimes.
Um…Tucker’s right. They were breaching the Capital building before Trump was done speaking. They all had earpieces too. None of the organizers of the rally knew who they were…
“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”
There’s no other rational conclusion.
Ah, the good old "whataboutism" the lefts new favorite word.
Bizarrely? Oh, I see the source. Carry on.
Virtually every terrorist operation is instigated by the FBI for the purpose of entrapment.
Many even walked between the velvet ropes, had the capital PD not even attempt to stop them in many cases, etc.
I can’t imagine a more brazen exercise in insurrection than to go against the deep state. The RINOs are having conniptions. Who do these rank and file [emphasis on rank] supporters think they are to question our loyalty to our own cause of protecting RINOism.
If it wasn’t for the FBI, the KKK would have been gone a long time ago.
The proud boys are not an FBI group. Yes, they had an informant, but they were primarily ex-military guys looking to kick the Shiite out of communists. It’s what we were trained to do, by the way
There is nothing bizarre at all about this. The FBI orchestrated it from start to finish. They used actors from Antifa and used the Capitol police as dupes who did not know the Plan.
The Daily Beast is signaling that TUCKER IS OVER THE TARGET!
FBI undercover agents and informants started the ruckus on Jan 6th, really belongs in breaking, but the title sucks.
My understanding is that it may have been
It may not have started out that way, but it was infiltrated and taken off Gavin’s hands.
RE: Tucker Carlson Bizarrely Suggests Capitol Insurrection Was Orchestrated by FBI
Does anyone remember the Hong Kong protests against China in 2018?
It started with nearly 2 million people taking to the streets in an ORDERLY and PEACEFUL protest.
In fact the protests were so impressive that the crowds actually allowed ambulances to pass through their midst, and at the end of the protests, you see thousands of people picking up trash.
Then suddenly, a month later, we saw hundreds of thugs in black attacking a passengers in a train station and trashing the place. It continued unabated with stores ransacked and businesses damaged (although there was no looting ).
The entire thing was caught on camera and broadcast throughout China to show how law and order had broken down in Hongkong to show the need for police enforcement. The PLA was standing by in nearby Shenzen to quell any riots.
The question that was never answered was this -— which party perpetrated the riots and how did a peaceful protest devolve into thuggish behavior?
Many Hong Kong protesters have been saying that these thugs were hired goons planted to make the peaceful protests look like an insurrection against the HK authorities for China to justify coming into HK.
I bring this up to ask the same question that Tucker Carlson — Did the FBI learn from the CCP playbook on January 6?
Leftists are universally lacking in common sense.
And a year ago it was nothing but a “Right wing conspiracy theory” that the COVID virus originated at the Wuhan Institute. Now that is the mainstream theory.
And all of the talk of the stolen election was just “conspiracy theories” that had no basis in fact and were all debunked and unfounded. Yet, in the past month, they are being proven true at a rapid clip.
This stupid article is reminiscent of the “debunking” that took place on the above two events.
In our current sorry state of affairs I feel safe in saying the Jersey mob has a higher standard of ethics than the FBI and the Justice Department.
