it was a mistake, in my view, for fox news to depict this in a way that s completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here at the capitol thinks. it all seems like fox itself understands the whole thing was headed? this is a network that s never shied away from plugging its high profile content throughout the day, over an overt over. even fox s own anchors almost completely ignored mccarthy and tucker s big special. that said, tucker s got about 40,000 hours of video to work with, they re sure to be much more attempted laundering of the insurrection, even as the justice department just announced the arrest of more than 1000 people who stormed the capitol. any credible observer, whatever their political ideology, can tell what happened that day was a tragedy. and a crime.
it was a mistake, in my view, for fox news to depict this in a way that s completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here at the capitol thinks. reporter: the chief also defending fallen officer brian sicknick, who was attacked with chemical spray and physically fought members of the mob after carlson questioned links between his death and the insurrection. here is surveillance footage of sicknick walking in the capitol. reporter: a day after the attack sicknick dies from a series of strokes. the medical examiner said he dies of natural causes, but all that transpired january 6th played a role in his condition. sicknick s family slammed fox, saying every time the pain of that day seems to have ebbed a bit, organizations like fox rip our wounds wide open again and we are frankly sick of it. they claimed the qanon shaman walked through the capitol without pushback from police, but officers repeatedly tried to
a way that is completely at variance, with what our chief law enforcement official here at the capitol things. senate leaders structure mitch mcconnell, criticizing tucker carles for misrepresenting the events of january 6th. will give senator tom tillis of north carolina to get a step further and said this. i think when you see police officers, assaulted all, that and you happen to be in close proximity to, it if you re just a tourist, he should ve lined up at the visitors center and coming in an orderly basis. i don t think it s helpful. sure, isn t one of tucker s segments focused on brian sicknick, remember him? the capitol police officer who was there on january 6th, in the midst of it, all and the next day he died. we are not going to show you any of tucker s broadcast last night out of respect for the
my concern is how it was depicted. the chief for the capitol police, in my view, correctly describes what most of us witnessed firsthand. on january 6th. that s my reaction to it. it was a mistake, in my view, for fox news to depict this. in a way that s completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here at the capitol thinks. does that surprise you? no, in fact, i m not surprised that the normal republicans in the senate, first of all, remember alex, they live this. what i really wanted in that segment, with a report was talking to josh hawley, are really one of that reported to say, why were you running so fast? what were you running from? the tourists that were taking pictures? they d be a does not lead to be. they don t mesh. that because members felt so
