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.

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

…
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.”

Ah, you desperately keep trying to shift the focus, do you not?

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.

Leftist pop culture at it's worst. Twisting the actions of a group of innocent patriotic sight-seers with cherry-picked fake news.

For some or a few, for sure. No discernible change of narrative in this forum, that’s also for sure.

No, he really hasn't. The people who buy into his bullshit were already buying into his bullshit.
Did the Democrats try to unfairly make political capital out of the riot? Of course they did.
Did Trump stooges try to play down the violence and make out that it was all Nancy Pelosi's fault? Of course they did.
But let's not confuse Russia's Little Lord Haw-Haw with The Great Truthteller he pretends to be.
