WASHINGTON — Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday released security video from the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, using footage provided exclusively to him by Speaker Kevin McCarthy to portray the riot as a peaceful gathering.
Carlson acquired the tapes as part of a push by McCarthy, R-Calif., to win the speaker’s gavel. When McCarthy was struggling to gather the votes to lead the House, Carlson used his program to list two “concessions” he could make to win over far-right Republicans.
“First, release the January 6 files. Not some of the January 6 files and video — all of it,” Carlson, the most-watched host on cable news, said after McCarthy faced three failed votes. “So that the rest of us can finally know what actually happened on January 6, 2021.”
In the two months since McCarthy won the gavel, he has granted both. Carlson announced in late February that McCarthy had given him exclusive access to 44,000 hours of security video from the deadly riot before he unveiled some clips of the video on his show Monday night.
Carlson focused Monday’s segment on promoting former President Donald Trump’s narrative by showing video of his supporters walking calmly around the U.S. Capitol. He asserted that other media accounts lied about the attack, proclaiming that while there were some bad apples, most of the rioters were peaceful and calling them "sightseers," not "insurrectionists."
“The footage does not show an insurrection or a riot in progress,” Carlson told his audience Monday. “Instead it shows police escorting people through the building, including the now-infamous ‘QAnon Shaman.’”
Video that Carlson didn’t air shows police and rioters engaged in hours of violent combat.

And so the lies continue from the fake media.
The Native Flamericans at ABC and NBC are circling the wagons.
ANTIFA AND THE FEDS WERE THE ONLY ONES DOING DAMAGE !
Please take note of ALL the scumbags harassing Tucker. These Traitors will gleefully self identify. Makes removing them easier.
They are strapping down now that they got the OK from the RINOS to say that Tucker is lying so that the pressure will come down on fox to shut down the videos. That’s what it’s all about folks. It’s about shutting it down, don’t show it to the public.
And from the enemdia, like NBC.
The “talking points” have gone out to the mockingbirds.
So predictable
They’re all reading the same script.
they have been lying through their teeth for decades so a few more lies will not hurt their reputation and may keep a few followers in. line.
This isn’t news, it’s commentary, but nowhere is that noted on NBC’s page. The headline alone is ridiculously biased.
NBC, with nothing but the selectively edited clips released by the Democrat party, just keeps on lying about Jan 6 among other things.
“...police and rioters engaged in hours of violent combat...”
And all those people killed!!!!!!!!
One military veteran shot by police...
One lady beaten to death by a police woman....
It’s just like “climate change” and masking: Facts and a rational argument — in this matter, even reality in the form of visible proof — is simply incomprehensible to people fully immersed in a secular religious cult … a cult like the Democrat/Communist/Left in the United States.
NBC? Claiming that another organization has lied???
Bwahahahhahahahahahahah!
Get a real job, pseudo-media.
Personally I don’t trust Tucker and McCarthy...as far as I could throw them.
It’s always a tell, they are pushing a lie, when the leftist media doesn’t have a comment section after an article.
Democrats told the world it was ONLY violent and was an ‘insurrection’. They were the people who lied.
Tucker said to look at both sides.
Not just one side.
Tucker’s a truth teller - this guy’s a liar.
Why didn’t they just roll with Trump for another 4 years and allow him to win in 2020? Was he so bad? They have now permanently damaged the country. They have disfigured the country. I think that they miscalculated. Their egos got the best of them.
