US Capitol Police chief rips into Tucker Carlson over ‘offensive’ use of January 6 footage

[Scott]

 

 

US Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger on Tuesday ripped into Fox News host Tucker Carlson over his commentary about footage from the January 6, 2021, insurrection that he aired Monday night, saying the host “cherry-picked” from the footage to present “offensive” and “misleading” conclusions about the attack.

“Last night an opinion program aired commentary that was filled with offensive and misleading conclusions about the January 6 attack,” Manger wrote in an internal department memo obtained by CNN, adding that Carlson’s show didn’t reach out to the police department “to provide accurate context.”

“The program conveniently cherry-picked from the calmer moments of our 41,000 hours of video.

Democrats speaking in opposites again. The whole footage shows the Q Shaman was politely escorted and guided through the capitol by police. Another false narrative about Q Anon shamen storming the capitol and leading an insurrection bites the dust. Time to arrest the Jan 6th committee and charge them with deliberately withholding evidence that proves the accused to be innocent. Lying is bad. Lying for 2 years and holding farcical show trials they knew were nonsense is a new low in the left's dishonesty - although totally unsurprising after they refused to release footage(nothing to hide, nothing to fear?) Sad so many were taken in by the insurrection narrative.

 

"Virtually every moment of his time inside the Capitol was caught on tape,” says Carlson, who was granted exclusive access by Speaker Kevin McCarthy to 40,000 hours of surveillance footage from that day inside and around the Capitol, which has never been seen before by the public.

“The tapes show the Capitol police never stopped Jacob Chansley. They helped him. They acted as his tour guides.”

Of course, you fail to mention that the moment they crossed the barriers, they had broken the law.  They broke the law.  Funny how you thought those rioters and looters from the BLM and George Floyd protests were criminals, but these insurrectionists aren't.  

You also chose to believe Tucker Carlson, although he's a proven, admitted liar.  Remember his remarks about election fraud?  You probably believe that as well.

I think he is a troll as nobody who watched hour after hour of live time footage could post such total nonsense..

Nonsense, even Fox News aren't covering this, only the perpetual liar Carlson................

 

The footage Carlson is showing is Chansley being escorted out of the building.

The QAnon idiot walked in "peacefully" about one minute into the video, and seconds after the doors were kicked in and window was smashed, "peacefully" of course.

 

"Last night an opinion program aired commentary that was filled with offensive and misleading conclusions about the January 6 attack,” Manger wrote in an internal department memo obtained by CNN, adding that Carlson’s show didn’t reach out to the police department “to provide accurate context.”

 

Just as expected.  This is the admitted liar Tucker Carlson; no one of any intelligence expected a "fair and balanced" reporting of what was on the videos.

Tucker Carlson’s Jan. 6 footage sparks bipartisan outrage

Fox News host Tucker Carlson whipped up a firestorm Tuesday on Capitol Hill, sparking bipartisan backlash and igniting tensions with Capitol Police by downplaying the Jan. 6 Capitol riot on his prime-time program as “mostly peaceful chaos.”

His show divided Republicans, with a number of GOP senators ripping his portrayal of the incursion at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger, who rarely offers opinions on political issues, said the Monday night show was filled with “offensive and misleading conclusions about the Jan. 6 attack.

The American people need to know the whole truth, so lets end this BS on Both sides. The footage should be shown without anyone speaking as we can make up are own minds as to what really happen.

The thing is, there is already plenty of videos showing the violent behavior on part of the rioters. So how do videos showing non-violent behavior contradict that?

This is analogous to there being 2 videos of a murder. One shows the murderer committing homicide and the other shows them leaving the building where  the murder was committed. And then claiming that because the latter video doesn't show any murder being committed, therefore no murder was committed and the suspect isn't a murderer..

Given that reality is against you, not surprising that you'd reach for a fictional alternative.

[KhunLA]

That people take anything as factual, that comes from your gov't or media sources is all a bit telling, and explains a lot.

 

Move on to something you actually know the facts about.  That won't be coming from your govt or media.

 

That is a FACT ... ????

What really happen on this day is that 840 people have been arrested for storming the US Capitol building on Jan 6 with charges ranging from obstruction of an official proceeding to assault. 185 individuals have received criminal sentences. Shaman Chansley whom Tucker described as toured guided into the building is behind bar for 41 months. Mathew Greene far right member of the Proud Boys who was the first wave of the capitol attack faces 25 years in prison. The crem dela crem must surely be the Jack Smith's grand jury moving at light speed investigate the chief instigator of the attack Donald Trump with the subpoena of Mike Pence. Meanwhile Tucker Carlson will continue to lie and grift from his gullible Fox audience.

And, it should be noted, that these videos were released to Tucker Carlson, who successfully defended himself in a court case by claiming that people should know better than to believe what he says.

Tucker also missed what Shaman Chansley said in court when he plead guilty. "I have no excuses whatsoever. My behaviour is indefensible"

They were all terrorists and should have been napalmed.

 

The scumball tucky---the trust fund kid with every possible advantage in life who still couldn't get into an Ivy---is gaslighting.

 

The terrorists injured 140 police, some quite seriously. Typical sightseers don't smash windows, break down doors, and beat cops. Slime like babbitt got what she deserved---a bullet to her treasonous head.

Full family statement in the article

 

Family of cop who died after Jan 6. slams Fox News for claiming rioters had nothing to do with his death

Among Carlson's core arguments was that an attack by rioters on Sicknick could not have played a role in his death as he appears to be walking around in good health in the footage. The claim contradicts the report of the coroner who established that Sicknick died of strokes the day after the riot, and that "all that transpired (on January 6) played a role in his condition."

In a statement, Sicknick's family blasted Fox News, and said the footage showed he was able to valiantly "resume his duties" after being attacked by the mob.
