his latest whitewashing of Jan. 6In his most severe rewriting of history on the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol, Fox News opinion host Tucker Carlson baselessly claimed the riot was organized by the FBI.
"They were almost certainly working for the FBI, so FBI operatives were organizing the attack at the Capitol on January 6, according to government documents," Carlson said without showing said documents.
Carlson, the most watched host on Fox News, was referring to the latest indictments handed out in the FBI's investigation of the siege.
His claim relies solely on assuming that anyone listed anonymously as an "unindicted co-conspirator" must have been an FBI agent. Carlson went even further to claim the agents plotted the attack, implying it may not have happened without them.

My guess is that they had Tucker spew this crap in order to change the subject about the real news.

Earlier today, I heard a woman on the rightie radio station here in Chicago going on about the Oaf Kreepers who got busted trying to kidnap the Governor of Michigan. According to this radio host, these OafKreepers were actually victims of an FBI plot to set them up. She claimed that the militia members were not sophisticated enough to pull off their plot without the FBI infiltrarors egging them on, and helping with the plot.
