Preview For This Week's Top 10 Conservative Idiots
CNN anchor John Berman on Tuesday morning blasted Tucker Carlson for attempting to “suppress the memory” of what happened during the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, mockingly calling the far-right Fox News host’s show “Fantasy Island.”
Carlson, who has long played down the seditious riot as nothing more than “political protest that got out of hand,” took his revisionism a step further on Monday: He claimed “it’s a lie” that white supremacists were at all involved in the violence and said there was “no evidence” of an “armed insurrection” at the Capitol.
With the Senate holding hearings on the security breakdown during the deadly riot, Berman brought on Punchbowl News founder Anna Palmer and columnist Errol Louis to discuss the latest push by Republicans to memory-hole the events of Jan. 6.
“I don’t think this could come at a more important time because you are seeing a wave of revisionism among some Republican senators like Ron Johnson, who says it wasn’t an armed insurrection,” the New Day co-host noted, referencing Johnson’s recent downplaying of the riot.

You know asking Tucker Carlson to provide fair coverage of the Capitol Riot is like buying a bottle of Coors Light Private Reserve. It's just a really fancy way of selling you a really shitty product!
**audience laughs and applauds**
This week the Top 10 is all new live from San Diego! We examine the first round of Capitol Riot protestors and whether or not they're political prisoners, Tucker Carlson attacks Simone Biles, Hobby Lobby's priceless artifacts get seized by the feds, we delve into the latest recall madness, people back on stage say some horrible things, and we add Alabama's Kay Ivey to the growing list of People Who Somehow Got Elected! Plus in a new edition of Holy Shit - is there a holy war brewing between the vaccinated and unvaccinated? We are taking the other side in this circular firing squad! We also have a new People Are Dumb, because of course they are! And in the 4th installment of our ongoing series Red State Diaries, why are people listening to a maniacal pillow salesman? Come for the pillows, stay for the far right batshit crazy conspiracy theories!
