For over two years, Democrats have portrayed the Jan. 6 Capitol riot as a deadly insurrection staged by supporters of then-President Donald Trump and elevated the threat it posed to our “democracy” to the level of the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor and the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

They did so by cherry-picking the surveillance footage the public was allowed to see and keeping the rest under wraps for “security reasons.”

On his Monday night show, Tucker Carlson shared some of the previously unseen footage and it told a remarkably different story than the one that has been force-fed to the American people by the highly partisan and duplicitous House Jan. 6 Committee.

[I’m not going to argue that there wasn’t a riot — it shows up clearly in the video. I’m not going to argue that at least a few people may have hoped to stop the process of finalizing the election to stop Joe Biden from taking office. What the video shows us, however, is a much more nuanced story about January 6. And had the J6 committee been properly constituted rather than Nancy Pelosi handpicking both Republicans and Democrats for the committee, the end result of their probe would have been a more nuanced look that would have provided the transparency that we’re only now getting. And the fact that the DoJ carefully controlled access to that video certainly seems like yet another attempt to control and form the narrative that suited it best, rather than provide real transparency. — Ed]
