Democrats are warning against the release of security footage from the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 to Fox News host Tucker Carlson. While Democrats argue that the tapes should not be released, as it could be used to further incite violence, their opposition raises some serious questions about their motives.
The Democrats have argued that the footage should not be released, as it could be used to further incite violence. However, their opposition could also be an attempt to conceal information that could be detrimental to their narrative. This is particularly concerning, as the events of January 6 have become a political football, with both sides attempting to paint a picture of what happened that day.
Carlson has questioned the lack of security that day, and has suggested that the government is attempting to “hide something” by not allowing him access to the tapes. While Democrats argue that the tapes could be used to spread more false information and potentially incite further violence, they have been largely silent on the possibility that the tapes could also reveal security protocols that failed to protect the Capitol.
In addition to their opposition to the tapes, Democrats have also criticized Carlson for his actions on January 6. They say that he has consistently spread “misinformation” about the events and has been a supporter of the insurrectionists. Not only their point is invalid, they have also failed to address the possibility that the tapes could reveal information that is damaging to their narrative.
