Tucker Carlson: "Jan. 6th was a false-flag attack by people who were mad about the stolen election."

https://www.mediamatters.org/tucker-carlson/murdochs-share-blame-tucker-carlson-pushes-alex-jones-esque-january-6-false-flag

On the October 27 edition of his Fox News show, Tucker Carlson previewed a “three-part series” on Fox Nation called “Patriot Purge.” It appears to be an Alex Jones-flavored sob story about the people who attacked the Capitol building on January 6.

The trailer features:

What can only be described as a sympathetic interview with “Stop the Steal” organizer Ali Alexander.

An interview with Darren Beattie, who was fired from the Trump White House after reporting emerged he had attended a white nationalist conference.

Another person claiming that “the left is hunting” conservative Americans.

A warning, apparently from Fox contributor Katie Pavlich, that “false flags have happened in this country” as footage on-screen shows then-President Donald Trump speaking on January 6 before cutting to file footage of Osama Bin Laden.

TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): I'm sorry to say this, but you can see why the people who showed up in Washington on January 6th were mad. It was not, you know, an excuse for their criminal behavior, those who committed vandalism, but like, I get it.

After that guy asked Charlie Kirk when they get to use their guns ( https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=15985535 ), his response was of a piece with this narrative:

THEY are living in a Leftist Fascist Tyranny, and WE are trying to provoke them to violence so we can oppress them even more, like we're doing with the Vaccine Mandates.

It's Bizarro Earth, but they live on it, and they believe it wholeheartedly. Nothing and no one will stop the RWNM from promoting this through every Propaganda channel they own. This is a very dangerous time.

I would like to tell everyone on the right, but many of the anti-vaccers” have already died from covid.
You would think, they would want to stick around to have the last laugh!
