Kevin McCarthy gives Tucker Carlson access to massive trove of Jan. 6 protest tapes.
Carlson TV producers were on Capitol Hill last week to begin digging through the trove, which includes multiple camera angles from all over Capitol grounds. Excerpts will begin airing in the coming weeks.
Carlson has repeatedly questioned official accounts of 1/6, downplaying the insurrection as "vandalism."
"Tucker Carlson Tonight" on Fox News, and "Tucker Carlson Today" and "Tucker Carlson Originals" on the streaming service Fox Nation — have a massive trove of raw material.
Carlson said "[T]here was never any legitimate reason for this footage to remain secret." "If there was ever a question that's in the public's interest to know, it's what actually happened on January 6. By definition, this video will reveal it. It's impossible for me to understand why any honest person would be bothered by that."
