The chief of Capitol Police blasted Tucker Carlson’s characterization of the January 6th attack on the Capitol, calling the Fox News host’s conclusions “offensive and misleading”
In an internal memo, chiefwrote, “The program conveniently cherry-picked from the calmer moments of our 41,000 hours of video. The commentary fails to provide context about the chaos and violence that happened before or during these less tense moments.”
. That drew an outcry from Democrats, who claimed that it would jeopardize Capitol security and that Carlson would use it to try to present a revisionist history of what happened that day.Tucker Carlson Shows January 6th Capitol Footage To Try To Downplay Riot: "They Were Sightseers" “These were not insurrectionists. They were sightseers. Footage from inside the Capitol overturns the story you have heard about January 6,” CarlsonIn his letter, Manger wrote that “one false allegation is that our officers helped the rioters and acted as ‘tour guides.’ This is outrageous and false. The Department stands by the officers in the video that was shown last night. I don’t have to remind you how outnumbered our officers were on January 6.
Carlson plans to show additional footage on Tuesday evening. A spokesperson for the network did not immediately return a request for comment.
