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.

Well, I guess you outed yourself !!!
Ah….got it. You don’t have an answer.
You “don’t feel like taking accusations”???
Just making them, about Tucker.
🙃
“The Justice Department has amassed so much video evidence that it would take almost nine months, running 24 hours a day, to screen it all: 16,925 individual closed-circuit videos running a combined 4,800 hours, and 1,600 more hours of video taken by police officers' body-worn cameras, according to an Oct. 22 court filing.”
Fine
What accusations did you make, Jane?
I must have missed something.
I didn’t make any…..that poster accused Tucker of lying.
I asked what, exactly, did Tucker lie about.
You can see its non-answer, upthread.
(Pretty much what I’d expected, from the n00b accuser.)
You have an “interesting” posting history.
And that’s a legitimate question. What *did* Tucker lie about?
Adam Kissassger and Chuckie Schumer are awfully pissed off at him, too. Why are all of you so angry at him, xyz2?
I do indeed.
Sorry.
Just no point in arguing.
Believe what you will.
They’ve had 2 years to shout 24/7 that it was a RIOT! and INSURRECTION!!.
Now, those of us with rational minds were able to watch it LIVE as it happened.
These “newly released” videos simply show what we originally saw.
This is gaslighting, pure and simple.
The politicians running our government are pure evil and hate OUR guts, folks..
“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.“
It was actually their MASTERS that got the best of them.
These idiots like Soros, Schwab, Gates, the WEF, etc… have an agenda on a time-table. They are tired of waiting for people like Trump to take them two steps backward. These snakes own MOST of our politicians and bureaucrats in this country. When they tell them “get rid of Trump, even if you have to get caught rigging your elections, they do it.
All this “insurrection” nonsense is being ordered from above as well.
Well, I don’t need anybody’s permission to do that, but I’m just genuinely curious as to why so many people are really steamed at Tucker right now.
I just want to know what it is he lied about. 🤷🏻♀️
Good gravy these people never stop! There was no insurrection! There was no riot! It was a protest and the right of the people to protest the election. Get over yourselves MSM.
Sorry.
It’s obvious that if you disagree with the majority you open yourself to rather negative comments.
And I don’t need it.
I wrote yesterday that 90% agreement and 10% disagreement =
100 % enemy
Sorry
No one is arguing.
I’m curious, and, asked upthread, exactly what it is that you claim Tucker is lying about.
You made the statement.
Can you not back it up?
Did anyone see any footage on the two dozen capital police beaten to death? Anyone? Bueller?
Ashlie Babbit was shot….no sympathy for her, from the lying msm
You didn't watch it? Tucker showed entirely enough of the actual violence, and he referred to it repeatedly.
But you simply HAD to watch it.
Click forward to 10:00:
The protest would have been much more quiet if Ray Epps, Pelosi’s point man and his cohorts with bull horns, had not been there encouraging protesters to storm the Capitol. Epps stated under oath that he never entered the Capitol but Tucker’s vids categorically show Epps in action in the building.
