Can someone explain how Tucker showing cherry picked clips without violence is any different than what Conservatives accused Liberals of doing with the BLM protests? Conservatives ridiculed the phrase "mostly peaceful" protests endlessly all to turn around and do the same thing with Jan 6th. Do they think we didn't see the footage of them fighting Capitol Police. Hitting them with weapons? Multiple dead?
Uh, there weren't "multiple dead" on Jan 6, just one protestor who was shot by police.
There were MULTIPLE riots in the summer of 2020 that were violent and led to looting, multiple injuries (50+ secret service agents injured in front of White House), deaths (people gunned down during looting)...many of which was caught on camera. Some of them even occurred at government buildings.
Then you had people like Rand Paul and his wife who were surrounded by rioters outside the White House after the 2020 Republican convention...a real instance of enraged people threatening elected officials.
How many 'committees' were formed to investigate those? None. How many people were arrested and held for months? Did any politicians compare those riots to terrorist attacks? Were they portrayed as people trying to overthrow the government? Nope.
The reaction and outrage over the 2020 riots was nothing compared to the politicizing and outrage over Jan 6. The 2020 riots were brushed off while Jan 6 was turned into a tribunal.
Jan 6 was a protest that turned into a riot...but was never a deadly insurrection to overthrow the government as the media and certain politicians keep portraying it. That was Tucker's point. The footage clearly shows it wasn't a planned attack. The police ushered many of those people in as they would protestors.
There is a difference in people acting stupid with looting/trespassing and brushing with security...compared to an actual deadly coordinated terrorist attack to bring down the government.
