Well, Biden was there for the War of Northern Aggression....whether or not he remembers accurately is a whole horse of a different color.
Josh Hawley thinks you’re too stupid to realize Tucker Carlson is lying to you | Opinion
Fox News lies to its viewers. Josh Hawley is fine with that.
Old news? Maybe. Certainly, we’ve known of both Fox’s mendacity and the Missouri Republican senator’s cynicism for a long time. But fresh developments have revealed yet again how deep the rot goes.
Monday night, Fox News host Tucker Carlson offered a ludicrous alternative take on the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection — that deadly attack on American democracy in the name of defying the will of the voters in order to keep Donald Trump in the White House. Using a feeble smattering of clips eked out of 40,000 hours of unseen Capitol surveillance video furnished to him by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Carlson made a ridiculously weak case that it wasn’t actually a rebellion against the lawful and constitutional transfer of power to Joe Biden — instead, it was simply “mostly peaceful chaos,” generated by sightseers and tourists.
“The footage does not show an insurrection or a riot in progress,” Carlson said. It was a bald-faced attempt to rewrite history, to tell Americans that what they witnessed on Jan. 6 wasn’t real. “Gaslighting” is an overused term, but it describes Carlson’s efforts perfectly.
The good news is that many Republicans who typically defer to Fox News pushed back on Carlson’s falsehoods. Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina used a barnyard epithet to describe the absurdity. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell aligned himself with a letter from the Capitol Police chief, who accused Carlson of “cherry-picking” his video clips to show calmer moments amid the insurrectionist storm.

That's just it - "we" did not "witness" anything. The only thing we saw was what the news media showed us - these are the very same outlets who said Brian Sicknick was beaten to death with a fire extinguisher and aired a highly truncated clip of Josh Hawley running down a hall, when he was merely the last of several DOZEN doing exactly the same thing. These are the same outlets who allowed AOC to recount how she feared for her life, when she was NEVER IN THE CAPITOL building that day, and no one ever breached or attempted to breach the building she was in.
These same news orgnanizations - AND MEMBERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY - keep repeating how five Capitol Police lost their lives that day, when in fact, none of them did - one died of a stroke a day and a half later and the others died of suicide anywhere from weeks to several months later.
These same persons have blocked the release of these videos for now for TWO YEARS. And it's becoming increasingly clear WHY.
If the public had seen these videos FIRST, their mental image of what occurred that day would be vastly different. The left wants you to believe that a bloodthirsty mob overran the police, rampaged through the Capitol, burning and shooting it up - when in fact, video footage showed many of them were let in, walked around, no fires were set, no guns were shot -
Prov. 18:17 He who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.
Sorry, but forestalling ANY ATTEMPT TO EXAMINE THE EVIDENCE - that, is gaslighting. We're supposed to be interested in all of the evidence.
Lawyer For ‘QAnon Shaman’ Reveals He Had Never Seen New Footage Until Tucker Carlson Aired It On Fox News
Chansley’s attorney, Albert Watkins, told Carlson he was never shown the bombshell footage of his client being peacefully walked around the Capitol with non-confrontational Capitol police officers. Watkins explained he did not see the footage until Carlson aired the video of Chansley on Monday night.
The QAnon shaman’s attorney ripped into the Department of Justice for hiding the video from Chansely and his counsel.
“The government knew they knew that Jake had walked around with all of these police officers, they had that video footage. I didn’t get it. It wasn’t disclosed to me. It wasn’t provided to me,” the attorney told Carlson.
Tucker Carlson now is a target for challenging the Democrat groupthink
Biden's DOJ says over 1,000 people have been arrested for the “insurrection.” Most of them were charged with entering or remaining in a restricted federal building.
More than 300 were charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers or employees. More than 100 were charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury to a police officer. The federal authorities are hoping that these draconian punishments serve as a warning and deterrent against any further demonstrations or protests in favor of President Trump.
This “insurrection” narrative is being used to brand other dissenting citizens as domestic terrorists or violent White nationalists and target them.
The goal is to outlaw political opposition.
The “insurrection” claim was, is, and will be used to target President Trump. They will place impediments to Trump’s campaign for 2024 and hope they can end it. All through the campaign and during the debates the narrative will be used to force Trump on the defensive. The narrative will be used to possibly indict Trump in the hope that voters are turned off by the drama.
If and when Trump wins again in 2024, they will use the narrative as an excuse to limit his power and authority as president. If the Democrats retake the House in 2024, there could be another January 6th probe that could hang like a sword over the second Trump presidency.
Turning A Blind Eye To Inconvenient Truths About Jan. 6
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a primetime cable news anchor manipulate his viewers the way Mr. Carlson did last night,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer claimed.
That’s rich, considering that Democrats spent the past two years doing exactly that.
Schumer went on to say: “When people don’t believe elections are on the level, that’s the beginning of the end of this bold experiment in democracy that has gone on for more than 200 years.”
That’s also rich, given that Democrats spent four years claiming that the 2016 election had been stolen. Hillary Clinton still refuses to admit that she lost honestly and fairly.
That wasn’t the first time Democrats challenged the integrity of presidential elections.
As the Daily Caller helpfully reminds us:
What is somewhat surprising, but probably shouldn’t be, is the reaction from some Republicans to the release of this additional Jan. 6 footage.
Methinks Tucker hit a nerve.
My favorite part was Don Lemon lamenting the unfairness of the footage being given only to Fox News and not all of the Leftist outlets at the same time. Unfair? Um, excuse me… Your pals on the J6 Select Committee locked that footage down for two years and hired a professional producer to make it into an anti-Trump primetime miniseries. You gave their show trial wall-to-wall coverage on your networks. People are sitting in prison because their defense teams weren’t allowed access to it. And now one single news show — not even an entire network — is allowed to explore another side to the events, and you’re upset?
Among the media losing its mind over the unspeakable evil of balanced reporting is Axios, a web-based outlet that imagines it has cultivated a reputation for centrist and dispassionate news reporting. Until now.
The normally staid Axios went with the headline “GOP senators call ‘bullsh*t’ on Carlson” in their e-newsletter the day after Tucker’s narrative-busting report. The story began, “Senate Minority Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) opened his press conference today with a stunning — and unprompted — rebuke of Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s segment last night on previously unreleased Jan. 6 footage.” Then it quoted several more establishment Republicans denouncing Carlson’s exposé, including Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) saying, “I think it’s bullsh*t” — without starring out the cus that time. Tell us how you really feel, Axios!

No chit. Even if you just look at some of the crowd scenes, you can tell the crowd sounds don't match - and they don't. The producer ADDED stock crowd sound to add to the drama. That's not speculation - that's established. They ADDED sound to make it sound dangerous. Turn the sound OFF and you can see what I mean.
The J6 guys didn't want anyone on the committee that wasn't in their court - and they withheld film from shaman's LAWYER that would have exonerated him. It's clear from the tapes, he's not some deranged madman - he's docile, as any one who has been with him knows - AND people have gone on record, declaring.

I kind of agree with him (I hate myself for saying that) it really seems that it should be available to every news outlet. I'm not sure of the reasoning on why it wasn't. Also though, I don't think the (J6) should have hired a producer to make this entertainment and the addition of a soundtrack really should make all of the video inadmissible in court.
