Tucker Carlson Goes Full Revisionist On The U.S. Capitol Riot

Tucker Carlson struck a snide tone on Tuesday night to downplay the U.S. Capitol riot on the three-month anniversary of the deadly insurrection.

The Fox News personality attempted to spin the narrative on the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump — who were incited by the then-president ― as just “a mob of older people from unfashionable zip codes” protesting mass voter fraud in the 2020 election.

Carlson’s characterization of the violence contradicts videos showing the maurading mob. Five people, including a U.S. Capitol police officer, died. Trump supporters were caught on camera screaming, “Hang Mike Pence!” and stalked progressive lawmakers.

“For those of you who are not good at dates or don’t have calendars, this is the day that we pause to remember the white supremacist QAnon insurrection, that came so very close to toppling our government and ending this democracy forever,” Carlson sarcastically snarked on Tuesday.

...and has agreed to be complicit in covering up the insurrection and discounting the Big Lie. Otherwise, there is no political future for Donald Trump.

The failed insurrection of Jan. 6 is a false flag operation carried out by antifa and leftists.

Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, the failed insurrection is just a bunch of tourists out for a stroll through the Capitol with their security blanket camo, flag poles, and zip tie handcuffs.

Like...the suburbs of Dallas, Texas? Chester County, PA? Remind me again, Tucker, how many came to the coup d’etat in a high performance luxury airplane? How many were employees or retired employees of governments...
