It was disrespectful to withhold evidence, like the capitol police did.

[JimPlebeian]

I shouldn’t believe my own eyes seeing the Police guiding Qanon man around .. walked past 9 police officers not one stopped him!

[colonelangus]

When the truth is disrespectful perhaps it's merited.

[ThrockmortonJGildersleeve]

You know what's disrespectful ?
Pretending 5 cops died on Jan 6th . And they keep saying it.

[nickreno]

Why do they always talk to us like we’re fourth graders? Like we can’t see with our own eyes and so we need the big people to tell us what we just saw and that what we just saw is not accurate?? This is insane Georgia Orwell.. 🤮

[albutterfield]

Aren't the capitol police the ones that acted as tour guides and showed the Jan 6th people around the building?

[saltygrunt]

You can see the stress in his forehead. He knows he’s lying and is fervently hoping we can’t tell that he’s lying. The worst part is that he’s lying to ppl who depend on him for their very lives. Possibly in the not too distant future 😐

[EddieMonger]

Here we go again with the "The emperor has not clothes." The way he said Tucker no longer works for Foxs was kind of creepy!!!

[amp]

It was not a false narrative. Our own eyes seen what happened. These people are ridiculous.

[gingerdrumwright]

Disrespectful is how the American people have been treated.

[rickywells]

What's disrespectful is letting people go to jail because your so called officer's waving them in to the capital.

[jenniferpowers]

The chief has big dreams! Where were you and the capital police that day! Hiding, drinking in the basement w/ Nancy!

[gigi]

He and AOC have so much in common; they both don't think the news should show the truth. They think the news should only run what the state says they should.

[TheReneepruitt]

Wow! So he showed truth and footage that showed all sides and they claim it is false? Wow

[anndaugherty]

There mad because he showed the truth and exposed their hypocrisy and lies. Tucker did a great job.

[sandrafrisbie]

He showed footage that told the truth.
Yall hate truths

[cierramitchell]

But not disrespectful to the American people that pay your salary and from what I saw y’all letter in the building that day 🤦🏼‍♀️

[williamhannon]

Tucker was just showing what really happened.

[rebeccabernard]

Thank God that Kevin McCarthy released them to Tucker and Tucker allowed the world to view it. Then they fired Him. But people will draw their own conclusions...

[silvergirl]

Tucker isn’t ‘gone’- he’s just not at fox- watch out- he’s bigger than ever and ready to bring more truth to the people!
