Will TuCa change the narrative?

@Axtremus said in Will TuCa change the narrative?:
There were multiple offers to make the Jan.6 investigation bi-partisan, but McCarthy rejected them:
Tradition has been that the minority leader gets to pick who sits on such committees. Pelosi broke that tradition. She wanted people sympathetic to her cause sitting at the show trial.

I have no problem with the Jan 6 committee selecting footage needed to prove their case that what some folks did on that day was criminal. Or maybe the Jan 6 committee was needed to balance out the Tucker Carlsons of the world who think the protestors innocently queued up to take a tour of the rotunda. (his words, not mine)
You got that exactly backward. As Carlson pointed out the Jan 6 committee presented highly edited (see Hawley) and produced (see sound effects) videos to make its case. Here, Carlson is responding to the case presented by the committee. It was just as partisan and skewed as his was (see Sicknick).
As McCarthy points out, a legitimate investigation would have involved the presentation of adversarial testimony. Carlson provided that.
Again, Carlson is a partisan and a muckraker. It would have served his case better had the videos been released to a different party, because giving it to him immediately raises the specter of "CARLSON!"

I agree with that, although... and maybe just me... I thought it was known that protestors were allowed to roam free for a period after the original invasion. Often I think about the folks praying in the house chambers without any cops near them. I presumed the cops, at that point, were focused on keeping the situation as-is, knowing these folks would be charged with crimes.

Actually, the Jan.6 committee was bi-partisan due to Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger's presence.

Only in the sense that they were (cough) members of the GOP.

I think he has done a nice job with the video so far.
The video shows the guy with the horns being escorted all over the Capitol by a couple Capitol police. They open doors for him and escort him all over the place including into the Chambers.
He was treated like an honored guest.
So far he has shown that virtually everything said by the democrats about the events of 1/6 was a lie. He probably has set a record for using the word "lie" tonight.
As LD points out, so what?
So, the narratives won't change, the lies will be repeated and celebrated.
The deadly insurrection never happened.
A few doofusses taking selfies, that is about it.

You keep repeating that over and over.
Appears to me you enjoy celebrating it as if it were a revelation from above.
That or you’re trying to be funny.
Elbows up!

What about it?
It was appropriately brought to an end by Parliament and combined law enforcement.

Cheney and Kinzinger had to volunteer or otherwise agree to be in the committee. Pelosi could not force their involvement against their will. The Republicans (at least two of them) agreed to serve in the committee.

Indeed and right you are, because you doofuses were listening to and believing lock, stock and barrel what that fucker Tucker had to say about was happening here and getting it all wrong.

Personally, I don't care if you wish to wade hip-deep into the blood sport of American politics. But occasionally, retrospection is necessary to prevent future mistakes.

Difficult not to when Rome is your closest neighbour.
But occasionally, retrospection is necessary to prevent future mistakes.
What Carlson projects cannot be described as anything near retrospection let alone sober thought.

Wasn't talking about Carson...

@Copper said in Will TuCa change the narrative?:
180 in 2020 and 114 on 1/6
It was something like that
The response to that is, so what?
His point was that where were the Congressional hearings on the 2020 riot? If 2020 was more violent, was it also not a threat to democracy?
-
NYC decided to pay 2020 rioters 21k each, because in the moment, the cops felt they needed to use some force, and we simply can't have that.
Now people will riot harder next time, in the hopes of goading some force out of the cops, and then getting paid.
- Riot
- ???
- Profit
2 used to be "loot", but now, it's "sue".
