Tucker Carlson’s attempt to portray the Jan.6 insurrectionists as tourists has failed him more than he thinks.
Then, Matt Gertz, a senior fellow at Media Matters, says he was “underwhelmed” by the footage, claiming Carlson’s purpose is “trying to create revisionism around the whole thing for his own political gain.”
“He had 40,000 hours of footage that his team had access to. He got maybe 10 minutes of material out of it and what he actually ends up showing is just so minor, little ticky-tack stuff that he’s trying to blow into a massive conspiracy to defraud the public. It’s pretty pathetic. I expected more from Tucker Carlson’s propaganda.”
As for whether the tepid response will change Carlson’s ratings? “I’m just too cynical to think that this is gonna change anything,” Levy says. Plus! Former Republican, now Democratic strategist and columnist Kurt Bardella talks Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the dangers that he may face for handing over the footage.
“Kevin McCarthy’s basically provided Tucker with the blueprint to how to sack the Capitol. Yes. And when I look at what’s going on, all that I see is another effort to try to create a situation where there’s another insurrection. Only this time they’ll be more successful. This information will be used as a kind of recon intel building and gathering for those people who believe that they need to finish what they started to finish their story.
