Tucker Carlson Slams Biden Admin, Media Over Capitol Protest Hysteria

Keneci Channel

The Fox News host in a blistering monologue Wednesday, slammed the Biden administration and their far-left allies in the media, for their manufactured hysteria over the Capitol protest on January 6 of last year.

Carlson mocked far-left media talking heads who have been pontificating and writing about the events of that day as if it's akin to the second world war.

The popular Fox News host wrote in part:

On January 6th, there was… well, let’s see, actually, there was just Ashli Babbitt. Ashli Babbit wasn’t a Union soldier, or a deckhand on the Arizona, or even a heroic fireman rushing into a collapsing office tower. She was just a Trump voter. She was unarmed. She was shot to death without warning by a Capitol Hill police officer with a documented history of reckless behavior. Ashli Babbitt was the death toll on Jan. 6. 

But, honestly, so what? It’s not really about the numbers, is it? It’s not about how many people were killed on January 6th. In fact, the list of those who weren’t killed that day is quite long. It includes all 535 members of Congress, as well as their staff and the entire press corps that covers them. None of them died. They’re all still around. But, again, who cares? It’s not about body counts.

It’s about feelings — how the survivors feel, especially the reporters who survived. The feelings of reporters in Washington matter a great deal in America. They certainly matter a lot more than how you feel at the moment. How you feel, as you’ve probably realized by now, is totally irrelevant to anyone. No one cares. But the journalists of Capitol Hill? They do care. And they’re upset. Many still haven’t recovered from what they saw that day. As they lie down to sleep at night, the horrible images replay on a loop on the back their eyelids: The deafening thunder of cannon volleys. The smoke from the remorseless artillery fire, blotting out the sun. The screams of the mortally wounded calling out for their loved ones, echoing like some demonic soundtrack against the walls of the speaker’s lobby. Hell in a very small place.

Carlson argues that the Democrat party hopes to gain politically by keeping the Capitol protest in the news cycle.

The Fox News host wrote in part:

And in fact, as a political matter, the anniversary of Jan. 6th is not a joke. It’s a very serious thing. Pretending that a protest was actually a failed coup is the Democratic Party’s entire strategy to win this year’s midterm elections. At this point, it’s all they’ve got. Governing didn’t work.

Carlson also called out Senator Ted Cruz for his comments Wednesday about the Capitol protest. The senator called it a "violent terrorist attack."

"Of all the things Jan. 6 was, it was definitely not a violent terrorist attack," Carlson said It wasn’t an insurrection. Was it a riot? Sure. It wasn’t a violent terrorist attack."
