Chuck Schumer attacks Tucker Carlson over Jan. 6 lies | USA TODAY #Shorts

Sen. Chuck Schumer said Tucker Carlson "cherry-picked" video from calmer moments of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot and lied to his Fox News audience.

Carlson aired a segment on Monday night that inaccurately depicted the riot as a peaceful gathering where Carlson describes the Capitol rioters as “orderly and meek” and “sightseers."

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy gave Carlson and Fox News exclusive access to over 41,000 hours of Capitol Security footage. McCarthy’s decision has drawn criticism from lawmakers from both sides of the aisle.

“Last night, millions of Americans tuned into one of the most shameful hours we have ever seen on cable television,”Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on the Senate floor Tuesday.

I like the new footage it shows that the people who showed us January 6th the first time cherry pick what we could see Tucker is just showing the rest of the story

[mariakalka]

I am so sick of the threatening remarks that roll of this serpent’s tongue, it’s obvious he does not work for nor support the American people.

[billymash]

Release all the Jan 6th video. You won't because you yourself Chucky release only video that pushes your agenda. Release everything and let the public judge!

[toddoconnell]

What's shameful is him still in office

[johngee]

Shumer wrote the book on "Lying"

[Mpacid]

For him to even suggest censorship of the press is a very very bad sign of what these people are all about...attempting to silence all opposition..its chilling

[matsuyamarockers]

You don’t speak for Americans, Chuck.

[garypeperone]

Oh then all the videos were released and look who is lying ? SCHUMER

[deathflame]

Don't believe your lying eyes, believe the party, believe the establishment.

[liveedge]

Free speech chuck, it’s called free speech

[PatrickRichardson-gjwb]

JUSSIE SCHUMER SMOLLETT THE TRUTH AWAITS YOU NOW CHARLIE!!

[CJ-qmuh]

They got caught, and they do not like that.

[LordEriolTolkien]

Don't Trust Your Lying Eyes. Trust The Experts. Listen To Your Betters.

[Cynthia-smuj]

when someone tells me not to look at self evident video footage, i tend to go look for myself. esp if schumer tells me to ignore it.

[EdwardmWhitney]

That man is scared of us judging for ourselves.

[jackmeoff]

Democrats greatest fear is a true journalist that's not afraid to show the true evidence

[Gismotronics]

See the video Tucker Carlson shared? The police officer who was said to have been 'killed by insurrectionists' was not only alive but waving peaceful demonstrators into the Whitehouse! Don't know why Tucker didn't mention that.

[zalllon]

Best way to defend is to attack the messenger. He is not disputing the footage itself, just that it was released. This guy needs to be in jail, not just lose his job.

[JoaoBasso]

No, people should be furious to see that you have been and keep lying. The video proves it and you have been caught.

[LordEriolTolkien]

Kool. Lies and Propaganda from the mouthpiece of the uniparty come in Shorts now.
