Lies about voter fraud have given way to excuses for violence. Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Speaking on Fox News hours after a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, a somber Tucker Carlson had a message for his audience: What happened was tragic, but it was also understandable maybe even inevitable. “Millions of Americans sincerely believe the last election was fake,” he said. It’s a message that has aired on Fox News again and again since the riot: Violence occurred because the rioters had not had, in Fox & Friends’ Brian Kilmeade’s words, “their day in court.” (Spoiler alert: They had many, many days in court.) For Carlson, the takeaway was simple: This is what happens when you coddle left-wing protesters and fail to take seriously the concern of decent Republicans. “We got to this sad, chaotic day for a reason,” he said. “It is not your fault. It is their fault.”
