I guess you guys believe the Capitol Police were responsible for the attack and the participants were all innocent bystanders. I wish I had rose colored glasses.
Released never-before-seen footage from the Jan. 6, 2021 riots at Capitol Hill that appear to dispel several narratives pushed by the Democrat-controlled House Select Committee and the legacy media.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy released over 40,000 hours of security camera footage from the Capitol Building that was hidden from the public for over two years. The footage proves that lawmakers and the media were "lying" about the events that took place on Jan. 6.
Capitol police officers were seen escorting Jacob Chansley, a Navy veteran widely referred to in the liberal media as the "QAnon Shaman," around the building without incident. Officers were seen showing Chansley around, even trying to open locked doors for him. At one point, at least nine police officers were seen in close proximity to Chansley, and none of them slowed him down.
Jacob Chansley was later arrested and federally charged for "knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds." He was sentenced to nearly four years in prison.
"If he was committing such a grave crime, why didn't the officers standing right next to him place him under arrest?"
New York Post columnist Miranda Devine called the charges against Chansley "very sad," saying that the footage proves that he was "harmless."
You can see the way those people were walking through the Capitol… they are walking meekly, politely queuing, very peaceable. They don't mean any harm. They are treating the Capitol with reverence. That doesn't excuse the others, the minority of the protesters who did break windows and fight the police and injure police and cause mayhem. But the people who are now being picked up and some of them have been jailed without trial for months, even years on end, did not commit violence. They walked through open doors, they were escorted by police, and they felt that this was okay. Jacob Chansley is a classic example of that."
The second batch of footage addressed the widely promoted narrative by Democrats and the media that the events of Jan. 6 were a "deadly insurrection," often citing the death of police officers, most of whom died by suicide after the riot others died of natural causes. Only one person, an Air Force veteran, and Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt was shot and killed by a Capitol police officer.
The third batch of the footage showed Ray Epps, the man caught urging Trump supporters to go into the Capitol the night before the Jan. 6 riot, seen on the grounds at least 30 minutes after the time he told House Select Committee regarding a text he sent to his nephew, claiming he was already heading back in his hotel. That false claim to congressional investigators is itself a crime.
The lack of any criminal charges against Epps has fueled suspicion from critics that he had coordinated with the FBI leading up to the riot.
"Tucker Carlson Tonight" exclusively obtained over 40,000 hours of surveillance footage from Jan. 6 which contradict several narratives that were pushed by Democrats and the media.
