Why was Tucker Carlson fired by Fox?
As far as I know, Tucker Carlson was the only major media person, who released some of the footage of what actually went on inside the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. How many people were actually killed during the insurrection? An unarmed white woman Ashli Babbitt by a black police officer!
Here is one answer!
The majority leader of the U.S. Senate (age 72) has become a very awful lifetime career politician! His resignation should be next! With leaders like him no wonder the Dimocratic Party is so deranged!
"Last night, millions of Americans tuned into one of the most shameful hours we have ever seen on cable television.
With contempt for the facts, disregard of the risks, and knowing full well he was lying—lying—to his audience, Fox News host Tucker Carlson ran a lengthy segment last night arguing the January 6th Capitol attack was not a violent insurrection.
By diving deep into the waters of conspiracy, and cherry picking from thousands of hours of security footage, Mr. Carlson told the bold face lie that the Capitol attack—which we all saw with our own eyes—was, somehow, not an attack at all.
He tried to argue it was nothing more than a peaceful sightseeing tour. Can you imagine? A nonviolent demonstration, a perfectly fine and appropriate instance of people expressing their opinion.
I, and so many others who were here in the Capitol, and millions and millions of Americans, are just furious with Tucker Carlson and Kevin McCarthy today.
Members of my staff were here at the Capitol on January 6th. Their lives were put in danger, as were the lives of many of my colleagues, as well as police, maintenance staff, reporters, countless others.
At one point, I was within 30 feet of the rioters. One of them, I was told, shouted out, “let's get him,” before my detail pulled me away and we ran in the other direction. To say January 6th was not violent is a lie—a lie pure and simple.
I don’t think I have ever seen a prime-time cable news anchor manipulate his viewers the way Mr. Carlson did last night.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an anchor treat the American people, and American democracy, with such disdain. And he’s going to come back tonight with another segment. Fox News should tell him not to. Fox News, Rupert Murdoch—tell Mr. Carlson not to run a second segment of lies. You know it's a lie. You've admitted it's a lie. ..."

This is what a demonic demagogue of the Dimocratic Party looks like
