it began with court documents revealing fox s tucker carlson was privately skeptical of election lies, contemptuous of the former president, texting someone saying i hate him passionately even as he indicated to viewers the opposite. a dominion voting systems lawsuit, carlson was on the air lying about january 6th. reporter: the crowd was enormous, a small percentage of them were hooligans, they committed vandalism. you ve seen their pictures again and again, but the overwhelming majority weren t. they were peaceful. they were orderly and meek. these were not insurrectionists. they were sightseers. that spectacle using cherry-picked footage house speaker mccarthy released only to him was just the beginning. the former president claimed that city, state and federal prosecutors are practicing, quote, good old election interference, all caps, and then there was something else that happened that didn t get as much attention, but is important, it involves lies told by jenna el
While Donald Trump and his pre-eminent challenger, former governor Nikki Haley of South Carolina, were barnstorming New Hampshire ahead of the Republican presidential primary, Mr. DeSantis was hardly visible
