The Democratic Party and their Credentialed Media Comrades, along with some of the unhinged Never Trumpers, are not taking it well that Kevin McCarthy gave Tucker Carlson all that J6 video, the video that the unhinged, ultra partisan committee did not want to let the public know about. And now, it’s apparently a weapon, according to the ever-moonbat MSNBC
The GOP just armed Tucker Carlson with an extraordinary weapon
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has reportedly shared over 40,000 hours of U.S. Capitol surveillance footage from the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection with Fox News host Tucker Carlson. If you thought the right’s attitude toward Jan. 6 was worrisome before, it’s likely about to get worse. Carlson is the most influential MAGA-aligned pundit in the country, and he can use this footage to do huge damage to public memory of one of the most brazen strikes against democracy in American history.
You really could stop right there. Is Zeeshan Aleem saying that the video will show something other than what we’ve been told per the committee and the Credentialed Media? Aleem says Tucker is “not an honest person”, which is a hoot coming from anyone working for MSNBC, and
Carlson’s capacity to cast doubt on Jan. 6 narratives could be on the brink of becoming quite a lot stronger. He may be able to accurately say that he has access to footage that no other media outlet in the country has. That, in turn, will give his claims about having the “real” story of what happened on Jan. 6 extra weight among right-wing audiences. He could also develop an even stronger capacity to confuse, mislead and manufacture false claims about what happened that day because it could be harder for other media outlets to contextualize or fact-check many claims he makes. In other words, Carlson’s authoritarian disinformation operation may have just become a lot stronger. The cumulative effect of Carlson’s access could very well further strengthen his overall authority among right-wing audiences. He could lord it over any competitor that he’s obtained something nobody else has.
So, by actually showing the video it could cast doubt on the J6 Narrative? Showing the American People all the video, which Carleson has promised to do, could undermine the carefully cherry picked video used by the J6 committee? That would mean that the U.S. Government is attempting to hide facts from We The People.
At first it was concerning when the GOP wanted to move on quickly from Trump’s role in Jan. 6. Those days now look relatively innocent. These days, the speaker of the House wants to obliterate the public’s understanding of what even happened on that day.
If a prosecutor hid information from the defense, they’d lose the case. The judge could call a mistrial. If it was egregious enough they could be fired, and even disbarred. Show us the video. We The People will decide.
