Tucker Carlson hosted a guest who attended a white supremacist conference to rewrite Jan 6th

On the June 15 broadcast of Tucker Carlson Tonight, Carlson hosted Darren Beattie, who left Donald Trump’s White House after reporting emerged that he attended a white nationalist conference, to discuss a “report” published on far-right outfit Revolver that suggests the January 6 attack on the Capitol may have been orchestrated by FBI operatives.

During the episode, Carlson claimed, without presenting any tangible proof, that “in potentially every single case,” unindicted co-conspirators referenced in legal cases related to January 6 “were FBI operatives.”

Carlson said Beattie’s piece explains that “the FBI was organizing the riots of January 6.” “It certainly suggests that possibility,” said Beattie.

Weeks before the 2020 presidential election, Beattie appeared on Carlson's show to warn that the increase in mail-in voting during the pandemic would create "a very specific type of coup called the color revolution.” Beattie claimed that “color revolution professionals” were generating election fraud in order “to use lawfare in order to overturn the 2020 election.”

are all thrown in their to cover their asses. They know all they need to do is plant that seed that "color revolution professionals" are behind the insurrection and the bigotry,racism and lack of critical thinking out in their Trumpville audience will take care of the rest.

That's how they're able to get away with it, and how the scumbags will rewrite what they did at the Capitol. They never take responsibility, it's always someone else's fault with them.

Fox has had to up the ante on political partisanship, bigotry, racism, xenophobia, anti LBGTQ equality and other issues to keep their audience.

Sadly, it's all about $$$ (as always). They gleefully spread hate and division to keep the audience tuned and big advertising $$$ rolling in.
