Tucker Carlson's January 6 Segment Draws Bipartisan Outrage: 'One Of The Most Shameful Hours We Have Ever Seen On Cable TV'
A bipartisan coalition of lawmakers criticized Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s downplaying of the January 6 Capitol riots in a segment Monday featuring tapes provided exclusively to the conservative pundit via Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), as Fox is set to continue releasing footage of the attacks.
Multiple Republican senators lashed out at Carlson’s characterization that the footage McCarthy handed over “demolishes . . . the claim that January 6th was an insurrection,” while Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) launched a scathing rebuke of the segment on the Senate floor Tuesday.
Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) said that equating the insurrection to a protest is “just a lie” and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) called Carlson’s framing “bulls—t,” CNN reported.
Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley (Iowa), Mike Rounds (S.D.), and John Thune (S.D.) also rejected Carlson’s narrative, with Thune telling CNN: “There were a lot of people in the Capitol at that time that were scared for their lives.”
Schumer opened Tuesday’s Senate session by calling the segment “one of the most shameful hours we have ever seen on cable television,” and criticized McCarthy for engaging in a “treacherous, treacherous game by catering to the hard right”—a reference to McCarthy’s deal with his right-wing detractors during January speaker election to release the tapes in exchange for their support.
