Great post and great response to the OP. If only the OP would reciprocate and answer some of the questions he (she?)'s been asked on this thread.American Hardwood said:The truth is that some violence occurred, but it was not led by Trump who was not there, and it was not anything closely resembling an insurrection. The truth is that QAnon Shaman was allowed by capital police to essentially free roam the building. The truth is that some people involved were severely punished while others were not. The truth is that this incident was far less destructive than other protests in recent history that were not treated with this much attention by either the government or the MSM. There are many other truths as well.TXAGFAN said:Which narrative seems more likely, the one we've seen for a couple years in countless videos and extensive coverage or the clips Tucker found? Use your critical thinking, I know it means you may have to acknowledge Tucker is wrong and this was more than nothing (something even McCarthy has to acknowledge given his previous commentary on the day).American Hardwood said:Because Tucker's clips are a response to the what the left did. He cherry picked to show the rest of the story. No need to show the violent parts again, they have already been shown ad nauseum.AggieCo2023 said:One lesson of Jan 6 is this: Trump’s lies, spread on TV & social media, provoked a violent attack on our Capitol. No responsible adult, and especially no American pledged to our Constitution, should deny what happened or repeat the same reckless lies. pic.twitter.com/MReMysC534

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?
I am unaware of anything Tucker said that was wrong. I don't have to admit anything. Tucker Carlson isn't that important in the face of these truths.
I can't answer your question directly because I don't know what you think the narrative based on Tucker's clips is.
I do know that any narrative that includes or concludes that what happened on 1/6 was an insurrection is categorically false.

Well, it's clear it wasn't "mostly peaceful" and it's clear it wasn't an "insurrection". It was somewhere in between.
What is clear is that both sides are playing to their lemmings to distract the majority while they enrich themselves with our hard earned tax dollars.
I understand I was lied to. And I didn't believe it. I am of the opinion Jan 6th was a nothingburger. I am also of the opinion that if I am on a Capitol tour and I bust through a window of a secured door to a sensitive location and try to climb through, I will probably be shot.Ellis Wyatt said:They aren't reversed.

She was completely surrounded by police. While what she was doing was stupid, I am pretty sure the death penalty is not the legal punishment for it. There was not a family on the other side of that door. She was not going to be able to enter and hurt anyone. That is the definition of excessive force. And that cop didn't even have to face a Grand Jury.
Then charge the officers standing behind Babbit for the same crimes they charged the dudes standing around watching Saint Floyd die. They literally hung out while one of their friends shot an unarmed peace protestor.Yellerjacket said:I understand I was lied to. And I didn't believe it.

Always amusing to see the "moderates" complain about one side or one network when it comes to people making millions off of political spin...but never seem to offer any bit of criticism to the numerous other media outlets out there or people in the entertainment industry that spin for the other side while making far more than mean old Tucker Carlson.Pumpkinhead said:
Tucker makes $35 million annual salary at Fox News and has a net worth of $400+ million.
Damn…amazing how much money you can make pushing political spin (left or right). Everybody on this board is doing all that spinning for free!
Ray Epps, the face of incitement!

Never charged or questioned. Why? Because he was an FBI plant!

Trump didn't tell ANYONE to commit crimes or break into the Capitol.
— American Soldier for Christ (@johnrackham82) March 10, 2023
Ray Epps did.
Why did they go after Trump and not Ray Epps?
Because Ray Epps is a fed.
J6 was a false flag operation, which they did because they are terrified Trump will run again, and win again. pic.twitter.com/aXxzBva9S0
It's a simple question. Was Ray Epps a Fed?

no justification...schmellba99 said:I did. And no, there was no justification for the officer to pull his weapon and fire through a glass door into a crowd of people in the manner than he did.TXAGFAN said:
Zero justification? You watch the same video I did?
She is a textbook "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" example.
In any other situation, had a civilian done the exact same thing - they would be brought up on murder charges.
But hey, keep towing that party line! I'm sure your overlords will reward you with the gristle off of a chicken bone after they have eaten the meat for your loyalty.
That would be completely irrational. Especially when there are cops standing all around the person who got shot.Yellerjacket said:I understand I was lied to. And I didn't believe it.

If I didn't know your political view, I could read this and easily assume an antifa member wrote it.FrioAg 00 said:
He clearly believes that I don't support the use of citizen force to hold our government in check when it errs to the side of corruption or extending its own power beyond the limited government role clearly designed in the founding documents of our country.
I do not hold such a a belief. I do not put "rule of law" above the will of the people (the definition of Democracy), inalienable rights, or freedom.
In fact, I hold the opposite view. I believe when government goes too far and oppressed those freedoms - it is our OBLIGATION to overthrow it by force.
What I see in your video are people who have just about had enough of a corrupt DC swamp

I agree. And one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. I wasn't judging, just pointing out that the same verbiage is used by both sides. If you or Ellis Wyatt think that's an attack, you're being emotional.ChemEAg08 said:Yeah, it could also be written by someone who was tired of British tyranny in 1776, or a Texian tired of Mexican tyranny in 1836. Those guys were traitors as well for wanting to hold a government accountable for this overreaches.InfantryAg said:If I didn't know your political view, I could read this and easily assume an antifa member wrote it.FrioAg 00 said:

NEW: Some actually newsworthy footage that was just released in connection with a Jan. 6 trial of Ed Badalian, the InfoWars superfan whose buddy drove a stun gun into Mike Fanone's neck during the Capitol siege.

Those on here who admit to voting for them and who continue to support and/or tolerate this behavior are just as guilty of the hijacking. Take for instance the OP - their posts support the "crooked traitors that have hijacked our Country" and evidently may be spreading this misinformation and dangerous rhetoric to our youth in schools.aggiephoenix02 said:
That whole scene seems staged, all of it…
Edit: The person getting pushed down the steps, and the video you posted above that one, all of it is fake, staged, coordinated propaganda.
F these crooked traitors that have hijacked our country, and I wish even worse on those that work AND CONTINUE TO VOTE for them, these paid actors, paid politicians, and paid letter agency stooges that enjoy being little nazis…
