Sen. Schumer accused Speaker McCarthy of helping Fox News stoke conspiracy theories by providing videos the cable network used to portray the Jan. 6 Capitol rioters as peaceful. 'To say January 6 was not violent, is a lie, a lie, pure and simple.'
WASHINGTON - U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday accused House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy of helping Fox News stoke conspiracy theories by providing videos that were used by the cable network to portray the Jan. 6 Capitol rioters as peaceful.
He said only a small number of those who illegally entered the Capitol as Congress was attempting to formally certify President Joe Biden's 2020 electoral win were "hooligans," adding that: "The overwhelming majority weren't. They were peaceful, they were orderly and meek. These were not insurrectionists, they were sightseers."
The Senate Democratic leader called Carlson's conduct "a dangerous, unforgivable attempt to destabilize our democracy and rewrite the history of the worst attack on our Constitution since the Civil War." In the broadcast, Carlson also accused the House of Representatives select committee that has investigated the riot and the events leading up to it of lying and concealing videos that he said showed peaceful protesters.
