(TheConservativeNews.org) – On Tuesday, the Democratic Majority Leader of the Senate, Chuck Schumer, showed his disappointment with a meltdown on the Senate floor after Tucker Carlson, shared never-before-seen footage of the events of January 6th in his primetime show.
Carlson was given access to over 41,000 hours of footage from January 6th by GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
During the Senate session this Tuesday, Schumer argued that Fox News must “order” its host Carlson to stop releasing the footage.
Schumer stated, “Last night, millions of Americans tuned into one of the most shameful hours we have ever seen on cable television. With contempt for the facts, disregard of the risks, and knowing full well he was lying, lying to his audience, Fox News host Tucker Carlson ran a lengthy segment last night, arguing the January 6 Capital attack was not a violent insurrection.”
He added, “By diving deep into the waters of conspiracy, and cherry-picking from thousands of hours of security footage. Mr. Carlson told the bold faced lie that the Capitol attack, which we all saw with our own eyes, was somehow not an attack at all.”
Schumer followed that undemocratic approach with an equally out-of-touch tweet.
“Speaker McCarthy has held the gavel for less than three months,” he tweeted. “But by sharing the January 6th security footage with Fox News, he has already done more than any party leader in Congress to enable the spread of Donald Trump’s Big Lie.”
Elon Musk tweeted in response to Schumer’s contention towards McCarthy.
Elon offered his comment with a link to a hilarious video with a voiceover of some of the footage released by Carlson.
“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the US Capitol building,” the voiceover begins as it shows “insurrectionists” peacefully and casually walking within the U.S. Capitol.
“If you’ve joined us today for the insurrection, please make sure you pick up a promotional leaflet on the way in, stay inside the safety cordons at all times, and if you get lost speak to one of our Capitol police officers, they’ll be sure to point you in the right direction,” it continued, showing various scenes of people looking around, looking at what appear to be brochures, and staying within sectioned off areas.
“And be sure to set aside a little time today to join us for some insurrection activities, including our photography tour, our fancy dress competition, and have a go on our climbing wall.”
“But don’t forget those safety ropes. And I’ve now received the results of our fancy dress competition. The winner today is Jacob Chansley. That’s Mr. Jacob Chansley. If you would report to your nearest Capitol Police Officer they’ll be sure to give you a prize, a guided tour of the building,” the video hilariously says while portraying the man sentenced to four years in prison getting quite a bit of help – and not a lot of visible pushback – from a cadre of uniformed police officers.
“All that’s left is for me to thank you for joining us today. We hope you enjoyed the insurrection. Wherever possible, please try to clean up after yourselves. Don’t forget to visit the souvenir shop on the way out and feel free to join us on the outdoor terrace for Nancy Pelosi’s insurrection Soiree. Grab yourself a light refreshment and enjoy the music of our very own fancy dress competition winner,’ it concluded.
