Tonight, Tucker compared Police injuries during the 2020 riots vs January 6.
There were more injuries in 2020. A lot more, according to records.

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".

Well, that's fiction. Now, back to reality...

More reality:
Among text messages sent by Tucker Carlson:
“We are very very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait,” … (Jan. 4, 2021)

Red herring, but nice try at deflection.

Guess who didn't have access to the video?
If you guessed members of the Jan 6 committee, you'd be right.
If their staff had access to the video, they had access. They didn't ask.

What am I missing here?
"Thompson said he doesn’t think any of the Jan. 6 members themselves ever had access to the footage....I'm actually not aware of any member of the committee who had access. We had a team of employees who kind of went through the video."
A "team of employees" had access, but not members of the committee?

DING! DING! DING!
They didn't care about the Truth. They were crafting a narrative.

Tucker weighs in...
But what was actually surprising, what we can't quite get over even now, is how they responded when they were caught lying. They didn't seem embarrassed. They didn't apologize. They weren't even curious to learn more about what actually happened on January 6. Let's see the tape. No, they don't want to see it. They exploded in rage. And then as liars tend to do, they doubled down.
They told the same lies they'd been caught telling, but with even greater aggression this time. Shut up. It's midnight, they said, as the sun rose behind them. Who acts like that? Well, sociopaths do and in this case, the sociopaths turned out to be both Democrats and Republicans. The commitment to lying in Washington is far deeper and more bipartisan even than we realize, and we follow this stuff for a living.
Now, you sometimes hear people say that the whole partisan system is an illusion and that underneath the manufactured debates, the leaders on both sides are, in fact, secretly united in a common love of money and power and the deception required to get them. And honestly, we can never really bring ourselves to believe that. It's just too dark. But now we do believe it because we have seen it.
The rest:

Isn't that the story of the last 20 years?

More of TuCa changing the narrative:

…
Addressing Trump’s four years as president, Carlson said, “We’re all pretending we’ve got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it’s been is too tough to digest. But come on. There really isn’t an upside to Trump.”In another text exchange more than a month earlier, Carlson denigrated Trump’s business abilities: Trump’s talent, he said, is to “destroy things. He could easily destroy us if we play it wrong.”

I'm guessing this won't be one of the Bill Maher videos that conservatives refer to in order to show that even Bill is on the side of sanity.
