Moron plays footage that exposes lawmakers' safe spots at Capitol during 1/6 attack. |
I really hope Dominion wins its lawsuit against Fox.
After years of whipping up viewers with nonstop lies and bullshit, they went into the U.S. Capitol to overthrow democracy. This was not a typical protest. It was an insurrection.
Fox downplayed the attack on the U.S. Capitol. They blamed former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for the incident. They claimed that the attack and investigation into the insurrection is partisan. They claim the left is always trying to undermine Washed Up 45 and conservatives.
So now they're obsessed with "woke", "drag queens", "critical race theory" and imaginary "voter fraud". They based their programming on conspiracy theories about President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton and Chicago.
The network has continued on attacking Democrats and progressives.
Dominion Systems has revealed a lot of things about Fox. It literally is suing the network for nearly $2 billion for defamation.
They are saying that Fox literally lied about the company and knowingly knew that the network was trying to appease its viewers by allowing conspiracy theorists slander the company.
On Monday, Tucker Carlson releases portions of the footage of the 1/6 that was seen by the U.S. House Select Committee. It was given to him by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
Carlson has repeatedly downplayed the Capitol riot, where a mob of Washed Up 45 supporters attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election results being certified by Congress. Washed Up 45 had spent two months lying to them about how the election had been stolen and the rioters succeeded in delaying the process for several hours. Four people died in the melee. A 42-year-old Capitol police officer who was sprayed with an unknown substance at the Capitol died of a stroke the next day. At least two officers who responded to the riot died of suicide shortly after.
“The protestors were angry. They believed the election they had just voted in had been unfairly conducted. They were right,” said Carlson, who apparently thinks nothing of repeating the same falsehood that spawned the insurrection in the first place. “In retrospect, it is clear the 2020 election was a grave betrayal of American democracy. Given the facts that have since emerged about that election, no honest person can deny it.”
Carlson then aired a few minutes of surveillance footage that showed trespassers not committing violence inside the Capitol, as if to suggest that was the most notable takeaway from that day.
“The footage does not show an insurrection or a riot in progress,” he said. “Taken as a whole, the video record does not support the claim that Jan. 6 was an insurrection. In fact, it demolishes that claim. And that’s exactly why the Democratic Party and its allies in the media prevented you from seeing it. By controlling the images you are allowed to view from Jan. 6, they controlled how the public understood that day. They could lie about what happened and you would never know the difference.”
Carlson then referred to the people in the Capitol that day as mere “sightseers” and insisted they actually had reverence for the building.
The host acknowledged the presence of a handful of violent “hooligans,” but tried to downplay the riot by saying most who were present weren’t violent.
“The overwhelming majority weren’t [violent],” he said. “They were peaceful. They were orderly and meek. These were not insurrectionists. They were sightseers. Footage from inside the Capitol overturns the story you’ve heard about Jan. 6. Protesters queue up a neat little lines. They give each other tours outside the speaker’s office. They take cheerful selfies and they smile. They’re not destroying Capitol. They obviously revere the Capitol. They’re there because they believe the election was stolen from them. They believe in the system.”
