Fox News host Tucker Carlson aired never before seen surveillance footage of the January 6 Capitol riots on his show Monday, using the tapes to mischaracterize the true nature of the violent insurrection and perpetuate a false narrative undermining the severity of the event.
Last month, Axios reported that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., had shared a trove of more than 40,000 hours worth of Capitol security video from January 6 with Carlson, who has previously referred to the attacks as "a forgettably minor outbreak by recent standards."
