"Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) joined his fellow Republican lawmakers in renouncing Fox News’ Tucker Carlson over his latest attempt to downplay the storming of the U.S. Capitol.

McConnell spoke with reporters on Tuesday and began by pulling out the email U.S. Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger shared with his colleagues in response to Carlson’s latest show. He held the email up to reporters and announced “with regard to the presentation on Fox News last night, I want to associate myself entirely with the opinion of the chief of the Capitol Police about what happened on January 6th.”

The Manger email blasted Carlson over the narrative the Fox host tried to create with the more than 40,000 hours of January 6th Capitol surveillance footage House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) gave him exclusive access to (despite Carlson’s numerous conspiracy theories and whitewashings of the event). During his Monday show, Carlson minimized the violence against law enforcement, vandalism, and law-breaking from the Capitol riot in order to largely depict the mob as “sightseers,” all while claiming they were “right” to believe Donald Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
