CARLSON VIDEO: Jan. 6 wasn’t violent insurrection

I watched the Tucker Carlson video the other night that completely changed my understanding of the supposedly violent Jan. 6 insurrection. These were government security videos that had never been seen by the public. We had been given continuous narrative of the violent destructive nature of the break in at the Capitol for the last two years by the lying press.

The reason that we’ve been told QAnon Shaman (Jake Angeli) has been jailed and given a four-year prison sentence was because of his violent destructive behavior breaking into the Capitol. The truth of the matter was he is a Navy veteran who was let in by two armed Capitol Police. They let him wander the corridors of the Capitol and opened the doors of the Senate Chambers to let him in. He then offered a prayer of thanks for their helpfulness in the Senate. There were nine armed police nearby who could have stopped him anytime.

His terrible mistake was his outlandish appearance with buffalo horns, bare chest, and face painted and holding the American flag. His defense attorney was never offered the availability of seeing this evidence pre-sentencing to totally disqualify his presumptive guilt. His Constitutional rights were absolutely destroyed.

Now the lying politicians who knew the truth all along are demanding Tucker Carlson’s program removal and blaming him for all the continual lies over the last two years. All these folks who were labeled terrorists and insurrectionists and are still jailed or who pled guilty to some lesser crime to be freed can have the evidence to support their innocence. What a horrible lying travesty for our country.
