House Speaker Kevin McCarthy gave Tucker Carlson of Fox News access to thousands of hours of Capitol security footage from Jan. 6, 2021.
Carlson used selective clips from the footage McCarthy gave him to build a false narrative of the attack, depicting members of the mob as gentle sightseers, Schumer said on"Last night millions of Americans tuned into one of the most shameful hours we have ever seen on cable television," Schumer said.
Sen. Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican, when asked by reporters about Carlson's broadcast, said "I think it's bull---," and called it "inexcusable." Manger had written that Carlson's commentary on the "cherry-picked videos ... fails to provide context about the chaos and violence that happened before or during these less tense moments," according to NBC, which obtained the letter.
"To somehow put that in the same category as a permitted peaceful protest is just a lie," Cramer said. "It was a violent attack on a fundamental tenet of American democracy, that power is peacefully transferred from one administration to another," Garland said. In his remarks on the Senate floor, Schumer said Carlson after "diving deep into the waters of conspiracy and cherry-picking" security footage "told the bold-faced lie that the Capitol attack which we all saw with our own eyes, was somehow not an attack at all" by hundreds of Trump supporters.
