“January 6th was the worst attack on our Democracy since the Civil War.” erklærede det Hvide Hus talskvinde Karine Jean-Pierre. Hun sigtede selvfølgelig til den kæmpe demonstration foran Capitol, der forlangte en audit af præsidentvalget 2020, der kom ud af kontrol med flere demonstranter i direkte slåskampe med politiet. Som man kunne se allerede dengang, var der ikke tale om et angreb, selv om Demokraterne nedsatte en kommite til fremstilling af den fortælling. Med Tucker Carlsons adgang til hidtil hemmeligholdt videooptagelser kan omfanget af løgne i offentligheden endelig afsløres og det har fået den sædvanlige magtelite til at nedsmelte.

Den Republikanske Senats-leder Mitch McConnell kaldte det uansvarligt af Tucker, at fremvise frifindende beviser for ofrene for justitsmord og dermed udtrykke dissens imod myndighedernes konklusioner

My concern is how it was depicted, it’s a different issue. Clearly, the chief of the Capitol Police, in my view, correctly describes what most of us witnessed first hand (…) It was a mistake in my view for FOX News to depict this in a way that completely  at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here on Capitol thinks.

McConnells dybe-statspartikammerat Chuck Schumer kaldte det “et farligt og utilgiveligt forsøg” “på at omskrive historien om det værste angreb på vores Forfatning siden Borgerkrigen” (som Demokraterne var skyld i, da de underkendte Forfatningen og insisterede på at holde neger-slaver – black lives matter in the cottonfield)

“With contempt for the facts, disregard of the risks and knowing full well he was lying – lying to his audience – Fox News host Tucker Carlson ran a lengthy segment last night arguing the Jan. 6 Capitol attack was not a violent insurrection,” the New York Democrat said from the Senate floor on Tuesday. “By diving deep into the waters of conspiracy and cherry picking from thousands of hours of security footage, Mr. Carlson told the bold-faced lie that the Capitol attack, which we all saw with our own eyes, was somehow not an attack at all.”

Og Schumer apperede til, at FOXs ejer Rupert Murdoch greb ind overfor Tucker og stoppede fremtidige visninger. 

Schumers dansepartner, TV værten Stephen Colbert (Colbert er i det hele tage glad for at danse) sagde “There’s a whole industry of people who make a living trying to make you think you’re insane. Well, I make a very good living reminding you you’re not … Some people are just addicted to being dicks. Case in point .. host & toddler sucking on a dog turd, @TuckerCarlson“.

CNNs lødige ansigt, Anderson Cooper (der interviewede porno skuespillerinden Stormy Daniels om, hvor stor en pik Trump havde (almindelig, svarede hun ud fra sin professionelle erfaring med pornotyre)) mente også at det var et forsøg på at omskrive historien og legede med tanken om at Tucker var en lille kujon;

 “The idea of Tucker Carlson being in that mob that day and NOT wetting his pants is hard to imagine.” Hans gæst var enig og mente at Tucker “[]just proven himself to be Donald Trumps chief propagandist”. Angående det at omskrive historien, som jo altså ikke er vedtaget i nogen endelig form, så kørte CNN samtidig historien om, at Tucker virkeligt hadede Trump ind til benet. Ja, det er ikke let at være konsistent i sine løgne.

Ligeledes på CNN, var Ken Burns indbudt til den misogyne Don Lemon og hans to hoes morgenprogram, hvor Burns sammenlignede det med Sovjet og Nazityskland, at folk, selv kunne se, hvad der foregik, frem for blot at stole på et politisk udvalg, der ikke tillod dissens, fordi det begrænser forståelsen af, hvad der skete.

They are narrowing the focus on what is and isn’t american history. It’s terrifying, it feels like a soviet system or, you know, the way the nazis would build a potempkin village. Tucker Carlson is doing the same thing with the footage from ⅙. It’s just a kind of rewriting of history at the most dangerous level. It’s a huge threat to our republic.

I et andet segment, siger en vært

That wasn’t the news part of that day. The news part of that day was that there was an insurrection. It was the hundreds of people who caused damage and injury and insurrection. I think he [Tucker] is missing the headline from that day

Til hvilket gæsten supplerer

Yeah and how they got into the Capitol by overrunning the Capitol Police, thats the key part of it obviously. And what we saw tonight Alice, from Tucker, is nothing new. He has been trying to sanitize the very real violence ,that we all saw unfold at the US Capitol in real time, for quite some time now.

I think what is really notable here is that he had a key assist from Kevin McCarthy. Someone who was on the Capitol that day, who condemned the violence immediately of that attack, but has since tried to get back in the good graces of Trump and the MAGA fan base.

And so, what is so key here is that he helped Tucker Carlson try rewrite history by giving him the surveillance footage, surveillance footage that he denied to actual newsorganisations. And now Tucker Carlsons’s back at his usual game of trying to,,, of not even trying to – of lying to his audience about the event of that day. 

Skuespilleren Whoopi Goldberg var den perfekte anti-logiske storm i skellet mellem kunstneren og kvinden, da hun på programmet The View sagde 

Last Night Tucker Carlson took a page from George Orwells 1984 and told his viewers to reject the evidence of their eyes and ears.

Lad der lyde et stående bifald, det er næsten smukt. Og helt uanfægtet viser The View derpå et klip, fra Carlson segment, hvor han understreger den vold og det hærværk, der blev begået, (hvad med med-panelist betegner som en redaktionel fejl på Carlsons vegne) førend han også dokumenterer, at de fleste demonstranter ikke deltog i urolighederne. “I don’t know what he [Carlson] is playing at, but people saw what they saw. They saw what they saw!” lægger Whoopi på absurditeterne, The View synes helt at have glemt at deres svindende publikum også har øjne og ører. For Whoopi fortsætter i projicerende panik

Look, you can’t put this monkey back in the case!

Enig.
