Tucker often claims "not a single" J6 rioter had a gun. But that's 100% false. Total lie. And there's no reason for it: He could truthfully say "almost no one" had a gun. Instead, he lies. Some rioters had guns, including one who pleaded guilty TODAY --> https://cnn.com/2022/06/17/politics/mark-mazza-capitol-riot/index.html…

(CNN)A January 6, 2021, rioter pleaded guilty Friday to carrying a loaded firearm on US Capitol grounds and assaulting police officers with one of their own batons during the insurrection.

Mark Mazza, who told federal investigators he regretted not seeing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during the riot and that they would "be here for another reason" if he had, faces a maximum of 20 years for assaulting officers with a dangerous weapon.

According to the plea agreement, Mazza, 57, carried a revolver loaded with shotgun and hollow-point rounds in a holster under his shirt during the "Stop the Steal" rally and on Capitol grounds that day.

Republican lawmakers and conservative allies have often falsely claimed that no weapons were brought to the Capitol to argue the attack was not the violent insurrection that it was.

1. Wonder the conditions of his plea agreement

I hope it isn't house arrest.

2. Might be nice to have a guy like him taken out of circulation for 20 years.

Fewer opportunities to make trouble that way. Plea deal probably eliminates that possibility.

5. And barred from voting...nt

7. If that's effective.

I have no idea how that works, if it holds, if it’s easy to get around, and if cheating is still possible.

Having never tried to cheat a vote, myself, I don’t understand the inner workings or safeguards, and/or how well those safeguards work, especially if somebody’s REALLY determined to circumvent them.

3. An important reminder: The insurrectionists prepared in advance...

Besides guns...

Some of the weapons that were confiscated had been seen being used inside the US Capitol including a baseball bat, a fire extinguisher, a wooden club, a spear, crutches, a flagpole, bear spray, mace, chemical irritants, stolen police shields, a wooden beam, a hockey stick, a stun gun, and knives.

4. Hell...read what he said about Pelosi. He would have KILLED her if he could have found her.

That MAGA POS should get 20 years or more. Don't give him one of those token 41 month sentences.

6. carlson, et al, keep with the 'not a single gun' lies, to provide comfort for some,

cover for others to spread the lives, and the recognition that his fans want 'clearcut' 'news'.

8. And who was it that claimed that none of these 1/6 protesters carried no guns? This of ...

course was a bunch of nonsense and a big lie.

TC needs to be thrown off his propaganda platform at faux news and the network be shut down, for supporting an insurrection in this Country in full view of all of us, on a daily basis. Shut them down. There are exceptions to freedom of speech claims, but not when one is yelling FIRE or I suspect, INSURRECTION, go shoot Mike Pence, etc.!!

9. They were all there to murder or be an accomplice to it,

And they all were.

People died.

The slap on the wrist these traitors recieved is not a deterrent for some.
