Mitch McConnell condemns Tucker Carlson on Jan 6 videos: RINO much?




When Speaker Andrew McCarthy (R) provided Fox News host Tucker Carlson with 40,000 hours of video of the January 6, 2011 demonstration on Capitol Hill the Democrats had a cow. They knew their lies about the so called insurrection would be debunked and even the media had a lot to worry about.

In normal times one would expect the media to want the public to examine the evidence of what took place that day, just a couple of weeks before President Trump was about to leave office and a crusty old dementia candidate would lead the free world. But the media sided with the Democrats, mainly because their relationship with them is like wet on water, so the hoax continued up until now.

So you would imagine that all Republicans would be delighted that the truth of what really happened, at least as much as the J6 video  evidence can show now that it was in the hands of Tucker Carlson.

But not all Republicans felt that way.

One such RINO is our very own Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell (KY-Jelly). 

McConnell condemned the release of the new, revealing footage. “With regard to the presentation on Fox News last night, I want to associate myself entirely with the opinion of the chief of the Capitol police about what happened on January 6.”

Say what? McConnell doesn't want the truth uncovered that Brian Sicknick didn't die from a hit over the head by a fire extinguisher? That Ashli Babbitt was somehow not an innocent victim of Lt. Michael Byrd of the U.S. Capitol Police who shot her in the throat and killed her, an unarmed U.S. military veteran?

Instead, McConnell sided with U.S. Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger who wrote a nasty letter to his troops decrying what he described as “offensive and misleading conclusions” made by Carlson.

Manger [aka "Mange"] continued, “The program conveniently cherry-picked from the calmer moments of our 41,000 hours of video. The commentary fails to provide context about the chaos and violence that happened before or during these less tense moments.”

Except that it showed in detail what happened and what didn't happen. Yes, there was some violence by a very small number of protesters who I would even refer to as rioters. But to categorize the protest as a violent insurrection when the same media called the George Floyd riots as "mostly peaceful protests" as buildings burned, police cars set on fire, people attacked on the streets, and businesses destroyed, it's time to stop taking these morons seriously, including so called Trump-hating RINOs who have a personal agenda.

Maybe Mitch is hoping to land a job at CNN where he can be Adam Kissinger's sidekick when he finally gets voted out of office in 2026, or retires. It's clear that McConnell isn't interested in truth, justice and the American way. 

His lack of curiosity, veracity and tenacity is a tragedy.
