decided to give this footage to tucker carlson, he would spend his time running it through the fox news propaganda machine. and create what is his version of an alternate reality. i wonder, even still, any of the surprises you? well, it gives me a headache. it s so hard for me to get my arms around the notion that tucker carlson is actually trying to tell america that they didn t see what they saw. this is not like, this is something that happened somewhere far away, and we didn t watch it live. most americans remember that day. most americans were glued to the television set. including tucker carlson. and all of the other cable hosts at fox. they were texting and saying, get him to do something. this is terrible, for his legacy, for our country. in the moment, we all felt it. and to this day, most americans still do.
