How does it feel to lose control of the narrative?

[mildajasaite]

He isn't downplaying. He is showing what we haven't seen yet. My jaw has dropped when I saw Q Shaman walking with multiple police officers, chatting away and even being escorted by them to the room where infamous pic was taken. You would think the guy had knocked out anyone standing in his way to get where he was.
We trully live in era of media's death. Not that long ago journalists would risk their lives to deliver the story. Now they just lying and when caughed, just doubles down on the lie with straight face on.

Showing actual footage in context is DOWNPLAYING? You people in the media are sick trying to downplay what actually happened is sick and evil.

This is genuinely sad. Yet major news corporations are beginning to wonder why no one takes them seriously anymore

[danettewhiting]

Isn't It Amazing How People Can Be So Full Of Hate, That They Can't Even Accept The Visual Truth?!

[matticusbond]

“Downplaying” your lies with the truth….
And you are trying feverishly to tell more lies to cover up.

[lukegu]

As a NEWS ORGANIZATION, shouldn't you take what he shows and asks tough questions about why these footages have been kept away from American people? Why your first reaction is to attack someone who literally provides more NEWS? Is that because you have a narrative which is now in jeopardy?

[darealgreglopez]

I get it ... There was violence. But the police CLEARLY walked with that dude down the hallways and even HELPED him find open doors. Why are they not talking about that?

[crownuk]

America deserves to see ALL of the security footage

[omardavila]

Let the American people have access to all of the footage, just like Tucker.

[pete]

So now that full footage is shown, we call it downplay. I think everyone involved with doing these horrific lies to these peaceful protesters should be fire. Some should see jail time. Your morale compass is damaged and your soul is tainted.

Tucker Carlson downplays January 6 by using reality…

[JS-nblu]

This is why nobody takes mainstream media seriously these days.

[MrMentos]

He didn't "Attempt" anything, he basically just showed the truth.

[WeFightTheCorruption]

Exposing real video evidence is not downplaying, it is actually telling the truth. Something you refuse to do.

[phleds]

Where are the lies though? I’m beginning to feel like we’ve been lied to for quite some time now 🤦🏻‍♂️

[liberty-matrix]

"Taken as a whole the video record does not support the claim that January 6 was an Insurrection, in fact it demolishes that claim. And that's exactly why the Democratic party and its allies in the media prevented you from seeing it." ~Tucker Carlson, 03/07/2023

[ChrizzeeB]

So... .WHY were the police giving the shaman guy a tour? Can your station show all of that and offer some critical thought?

[mmalbertazzi]

Well done Tucker! At last the truth is coming out!
