Tucker Carlson airs first batch of exclusive Jan. 6 footage on Fox News

MAHMOUD BENNETT:

PREVIOUSLY UNSEEN FOOTAGE FROM THE EVENTS SURROUNDING THE JANUARY 6TH ATTACK AT THE US CAPITOL AIRED ON FOX NEWS THIS WEEK

SOME OF THE VIDEO APPEARED TO SHOW CAPITOL POLICE OFFICERS WALKING ALONGSIDE JACOB CHANSELY *FAMOUSLY KNOWN AS QANONSHAMAN* AS HE MADE HIS WAY THROUGH THE BUILDING TOWARD THE FLOOR OF THE US SENATE

THE EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE AIRED ON TUCKER CALRON’S SHOW – IF YOU REMEMBER HOUSE SPEAKER KEVIN MCCARTHY HANDED CARLSON 41,000 HOURS OF JAN 6 SECURITY TAPES BACK IN FEBRUARY – 

USING FOOTAGE OF HOW SOME POLICE INTERACTED WITH PROTESTORS CARLSON SAYS IT’S EVIDENCE JAN 6 WAS QUOTE MOSTLY PEACEFUL CHAOS

THOUGH THIS FOOTAGE IS JUST ONE ANGLE: PREVIOUSLY AIRED VIDEO DOCUMENTS THE VIOLENCE THAT TOOK PLACE ON JAN 6 WHICH RESULTED IN 114 INJURED POLICE OFFICERS AND THE DEATH OF AT LEAST 5 PEOPLE

REPUBLICAN SENATOR THOM TILLIS DISAGREES WITH CARLSON’S FRAMING.

THOM TILLIS:

I THINK IT’S BULLSHIT. IN THE SAME WAY THAT KENOSHA PEOPLE. I REMEMBER VIVIDLY ON SOME NEWS OUTLET THERE WAS A BUILDING BURNING, I THINK IT WAS A CHURCH, THE HEADLINE WAS MOSTLY PEACEFUL. BOTH OF THOSE ARE INEXCUSABLE AND THEY SHOULD BE CALLED OUT FOR WHAT THEY ARE.

MEANWHILE SENATOR CHUCK SHUMER SAYS THE SELECTED FOOTAGE PROMOTES LIES

CHUCK SCHUMER:

FOX NEWS – TELL TUCKER CARLSON NOT TO RUN A SECOND SET OF LIES

PROSECUTORS SAY CAPITOL POLICE TRIED TO TELL THOSE WHO ILLEGALLY ENTERED THE CAPITOL TO LEAVE

–  MOREOVER POLICE ALSO TESTIFIED THEY AT TIMES FEARED ESCALATING VIOLENCE BY ENGAGING WITH THE MOB

IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE ENTIRETY OF THIS 41 THOUSAND HOURS OF FOOTAGE SURROUNDING JANUARY 6 HAS NOT BEEN REVEALED TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC OR OTHER MEDIA OUTLETS – SPEAKER MCARTHY HAS SAID HE’S LOOKING TO MAKE IT MORE WIDELY AVAILABLE
