Video: Media Blasts Tucker Carlson For Airing Jan. 6 Footage; Ignores Interview With Former Capitol Police Officer
Legacy media continues to blast Fox News anchorman Tucker Carlson for airing controversial January 6th footage. Senators Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell have also shared their outrage calling it a mistake, and demanding Fox News censor Tucker for going against the selected narrative reported by all of the media that the event had been extremely violent, the worst event ever to occur in America.
Tucker Carlson is siding with the enemies of democracy.

The negative talking points are all taking place while ignoring an eye-opening interview with former 22-year veteran Capitol Police officer Tarek Johnson who had worked alongside other officers on January 6th. He revealed he prayed daily to share what he observed but was never asked to testify by the January 6th Committee or anyone related to them.
During the interview, Tucker comments the police are supposedly non-partisan, which Johnson confirmed, saying then Police Chief Sun told them they were to be neutral, but that was not the reality as he described what he saw after January 6th.
Tucker Carlson shared today explaining his reasons for sharing the videos. He stated that after 26 months, some of the footage had been withheld from the public by the January 6th committee and the Justice Department, some of which were even withheld from criminal defendants charged on January 6th, a violation of their constitutional rights. Tucker said he felt this was a public service to bring what he could to the American public and that there was “No justification for keeping this secret any longer.”
Chuck Schumer wasn’t the only politician outraged by our January 6 reporting. He was joined by a cascade of Republicans, including Mitch McConnell. pic.twitter.com/8P95x0W8Ij
