NEW: The Jan. 6 participant Tucker Carlson viewers were told was “clearly a law enforcement officer” is actually an amateur mascot who runs around Busch stadium during St. Louis Cardinals home games.

He’s also a huge fan of Tucker Carlson.

“If I’m wrong, so be it, bro," Carlson's guest said after he'd told Fox News viewers that the St. Louis baseball booster was "clearly a law enforcement officer."

Viewers of Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show were presented this week with a very explosive charge: that a man in red face paint and a “Keep America Great” hat at the front lines of the U.S. Capitol attack is “clearly a law enforcement officer” and an “agent provocateur” who infiltrated the Jan. 6 mob to make Donald Trump’s supporters look bad.

“Let’s put his picture back on the screen,” Carlson said Monday on his show as an image appeared beside him. “Who is this person? Why hasn’t he been charged? That’s a very simple ask.”

Carlson has repeatedly and falsely suggested that the Capitol riot was actually a false flag event, meaning it was staged by shadowy government authorities in order to persecute Trump fans.

Joseph McBride, an attorney for several Jan. 6 defendants who was a key figure in Carlson’s “Patriot Purge” series on the Fox Nation streaming service, told Fox News viewers that the painted man’s face was “MAGA red,” but he was only in disguise as a Trump supporter.

1. I think there's a good deal of overlap between Tucker fans and Alex Jones fans.

You have to be a fucking idiot to be either one.

2. I've never heard of an "amateur Cardinal mascot" running around the stadium.

I know about (and met) the Hat Man, but he's sane.
