The White House issued a rare rebuke of the late-night pundit, Fox News presenter Tucker Carlson, on Wednesday for his broadcasts of inaccurate descriptions of the attack that occurred on January 6, 2021.
Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy granted Tucker Carlson access to about 40,000 hours of US Capitol security camera footage, and Carlson has aired carefully picked scenes to portray the pro-Trump crowd as peaceful patriots. Carlson presented evidence that the Democrats and the House select committee that looked into the events of January 6 lied to the American people about what happened on that day.
