You can tell Tucker Carlson is over the target based simply on the hysterical reactions he’s gotten over the last 24 hours. That’s the story after the Fox News host began to release January 6th surveillance footage on Monday evening.
Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy gave Carlson access to the footage after Democrats fought for years to keep it under lock and key. Now, we are finding out that many of the narratives spun by the January 6th committee and others were at best misleading and at worst outright false.
RedState has already reported on that extensively on those revelations (click here, here, and here), and apparently, Democrats aren’t a fan of the transparency. After railing on the Senate floor, Chuck Schumer went to the press to demand that Carlson be forcibly removed from the air.

For starters, it seems rather fascist (or communistic, if you prefer) to have a politician making that kind of demand. A special obligation? Really? Because Carlson released some surveillance footage that Schumer desperately wanted to hide?
It’s an insane and totalitarian position to take. It’s also incredibly hypocritical given Democrats spend every waking moment decrying the coming end of “democracy.” Do you know what ends democracy? Politicians trying to get television hosts kicked off the air for saying stuff they don’t like.
Ask yourself this. What are Schumer and his cohorts so afraid of? Carlson is simply releasing footage that they themselves refused to release. Nancy Pelosi could have let the public see all of it from the get-go. No one made the January 6th committee selectively edit and obfuscate the truth. They chose to do that because they wanted to push a very specific narrative, and they chose to cover up any inconvenient facts for posterity.
That’s what this comes down to. Schumer is afraid of the truth. He’s afraid that his neatly packaged “insurrection” narrative will be blown up by reality, a reality that he fought so hard to hide.
Using this event as propaganda for why you think we should love RINOS is a d!ck move.
AMEN!! I believe Breitbart was MURDERED!
Give the J6 footage to Newsmax. It is public domain info now.
Newsmax would have no problem airing J6 video. All of it.
They aren’t TERRIFIED! They KNOW the Media will NOT COVER it!!
the video files should be on a server on the internet accessible by the public worldwide ... no TV network needed ...
The filthy democrats hate the truth and hate it when the public gets to see the truth.

Yep 🤔🤔🤔
“Using this event as propaganda for why you think we should love RINOS is a d!ck move.”
I agree it’s on the weak side, but the FACT of the matter is that we had to wait TWO YEARS for this to come out, simply because Pelosi controlled the House, and the Dems would still control the house, if even a few of the 10-20 RINOs in the House had instead been Democrats - and this footage would STILL be locked-down.
This crap doesn’t happen in a vacuum, it all together.
“I am not voting for a RINO. Your lamentations are sweet.”
I know, that’s why it took 2 YEARS, with hundreds rotting away at DC Central, to get this information out.
“I’ll be happy to discover I’m wrong, “
You ain’t wrong.
“Tucker owns the Daily Caller.”
Does he still?
“Newsmax would have no problem airing J6 video.”
Why do you think McCarthy DIDN’T give it to Newsmax (or RAV, etc.?). His BFF Ryan wouldn’t have control over it then.
Re newsmax:
I’d bet they have it already.
Sort of a “nuclear option” if anything “just coincidentally” happens to Tucker. Vicious people do desperate things when they’re exposed.
Democrats don’t want their Insurrection exposed
More like a direct assault on democracy.
“Are you not aware that McConnell is saying the same things as any democrat? That McConnell and Graham are just as invested in the January 6th hoax as Schumer and the democrats?”
McConnell, Schumer and Graham are Deep State. They are not conservatives or liberals. They are apparatchiks of the state.
Very well put by JD.
I’d like to see McConnell pointedly asked about that (Schumer’s diatribe). JD can be the questioner. :-)
