Side-by-side look at Fox News host's contradicting view of Jan. 6

An independent commission on 6th January would investigate this claim thoroughly, oh wait the Republicans defeated that proposal!

Lying on national TV from journalists and politicians should come with some serious consequences .

The last few times you guys called something a conspiracy theory or false... you were wrong.

[mojtabasayyad]

Your record in calling stuff "conspiracy theory" speaks for itself.

Didn’t Matt Gaetz suggest that Carlson and he spent time with the ‘alleged’ underage girl. He didn’t deny it, he just said that he didn’t remember.

[maryabdi]

Why doesn't the FBI make him repeat this under oath and demand he produce evidence or put him in jail for spreading dangerous lies?

[alfonsosolorio]

Brian Settler’s cringe is all time high 🤦🏾‍♀️

Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine - then all this goes away

Ironic in 2004 I had 2 college professors who were from South Africa. They both taught about propaganda. At the time it didn't make sense but Now I can hardly believe what people will continue to fall for. Craziness.

[annhiltner]

It’s time Fox News be held accountable for false news reports.

[alicantino]

So much for the whole "facts don't care about your feelings" movement on the right the past 4-5 years...

[johnmattoon]

Awe.. lil Brian.. sorry can’t watch Brian without Mark Dice’s voice over...😂😂😂😂. 80% drop in viewership! Lmao!!

[maryfinch]

The FBI needs to force him to demonstrate his sources.

[obamanyoutubetookmychannel]

Tucker Carlson is the same guy who had dinner with Matt Gaetz and his under age girlfriend at the time. he's also a Trump waterboy.

[bryanreeme]

Just boycott the entire network, & please eventually stop repeating their BS, it will go away

[willofdapeople]

BRIAN WAS THAT KID IN SCHOOL THAT ALWAYS WAS ..TEACHER TEACHER BILLY AND BOBBY WERE TALKING AND GOT BEAT UP AFTER SCHOOL

[mrdasbruce]

My mental process can't stand the sound of Tucker's voice.

[tristin]

The F.B.I needs to demand is sources, after all it implies a breach in F. B. I protocol., procedure, and policy.

[brucemou]

Speaking of accountability and integrity, why did CNN reinstate Jeffrey Toobin?

[billcurtis]

Why can't the FBI charge him with lieing on the FBI? You can be charged for lieing to them.
