McConnell Rips Tucker for Depicting a False Impression of the Horrific Insurrection

Senator Mitch McConnell Rips Tucker Carlson for Depicting a False Impression of the Horrific Insurrection He Experienced on January 6th
Paul Ryan probably received a few Uniparty phone calls today and is sending a message to Tucker to shut it down.

Tucker Carlson has kicked a hornet’s nest by broadcasting the January 6, 2021, footage on his television show and outlining the violent insurrection narrative as a false premise. Given the nature of the entire apparatus of government and media that is now united against him, it will be interesting to see if Carlson’s TV show survives.
Standing in front of the cameras earlier this afternoon, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell blasted Fox News and Tucker Carlson specifically for misrepresenting the events that McConnell says he experienced. “It was a mistake, in my view, for Fox News to depict (January 6th) in a way that’s completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here at the Capitol thinks.”

Are the videos doctored? If not then how do they misrepresent anything?

Nothing like turning the lights on in the kitchen to stir up the cockroaches.

Time for Trump to go scorched Earth. Will he?

Bingo.
The amount of footage released by the Capitol cops and the J6 commission was pretty scant and framed in a way to push their narrative.
They are losing their shite that the other side is now able to show how full of it they are.
Edit - And I don’t doubt Ryan got those calls if Schmuck was calling on Rupert Murdoch publicly to prevent Tucker from doing so.
Problem for them is that prior restraint is unconstitutional and the Streisand Effect means that attempting to suppress it will actually have the opposite effect than they intend.

No, but the ones shown by the J6 committee were. They added sound to some of those hallway and interior videos which CLEARLY did not have audio originally.

They misrepresent the current narrative.

I'm sure Tucker has gotten lots of pressure today. We'll see if he shows us any more of the tapes, tonight.

Tucker must be over the target.
All of the rats are scurrying around.

It's going to be awkward if Tucker says, Fox New management has been pressured by DC to not show the remainder of the J6 tapes. Sorry, I work for Fox News and I can't show them.

There needs to be people lining up to take McConnell's spot.
That bitch has got to go!

The video which allegedly shows Josh Hawley running away was hilariously framed. They edited it to give the impression Hawley was a lone coward by editing out the first 3/4 of the video where tons of others first ran the same direction.
They did that to allow Legacy Media and Social Media accounts to use it to smear him.
THAT'S what selective editing looks like.

Was the chief escorting MAGA members or his retarded arse employees. The video could have been played and silence and you could come to the same conclusion. frick Mitch.

Still no footage of AOC being nearly attacked and raped in an entirely different building, right?

Tough position to be in.
What would any of us do if a $35 million per year salary was on the line?

don't be surprised if Fox is ordered to fire Tucker
