Sen. Chuck Schumer said Tucker Carlson "cherry-picked" video from calmer moments of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot and lied to his Fox News audience.

Carlson aired a segment on Monday night that inaccurately depicted the riot as a peaceful gathering where Carlson describes the Capitol rioters as “orderly and meek” and “sightseers."
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy gave Carlson and Fox News exclusive access to over 41,000 hours of Capitol Security footage. McCarthy’s decision has drawn criticism from lawmakers from both sides of the aisle.
“Last night, millions of Americans tuned into one of the most shameful hours we have ever seen on cable television,”Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on the Senate floor Tuesday.

That man is scared of us judging for ourselves.
@Edward m WhitneyYes, and I also saw all the other footage released by the January 6th committee. And judging by the events of that day, the clips Tucker released were well after the majority of the violence had ended 🤷🏻♂️
@Ryan Cole perfect, now judge for yourself.
when someone tells me not to look at self evident video footage, i tend to go look for myself. esp if schumer tells me to ignore it.
@Ryan Cole Thank you for your kind inquiry Ryan. i watched live that day. I began replying the odd footage i was seeing and decided i need my daughter to use her software to seperate the in-room music from voices, so i downloaded it later in the day. i have yet to ask her to look at the footage. life is a busy event!
It’s called transparency chuckie.
Don’t Trust Your Lying Eyes. Trust The Experts. Listen To Your Betters.
What’s shameful is him still in office
JUSSIE SCHUMER SMOLLETT THE TRUTH AWAITS YOU NOW CHARLIE!!
Oh then all the videos were released and look who is lying ? SCHUMER
‘Crying Chuck’
Cryin lyin Chuck
Free speech chuck , it’s called free speech
I like the new footage it shows that the people who showed us January 6th the first time cherry pick what we could see Tucker is just showing the rest of the story
B.S.
I’m not furious I think it’s funny
Release all the Jan 6th video. You won’t because you yourself Chucky release only video that pushes your agenda. Release everything and let the public judge!
Truth hurts don’t it chuckie, time to drain the swamp ,vote Trump next Presidential election
It was not a violent insurrection!
whenever has more video footage resulted in a cover up?
I am so sick of the threatening remarks that roll of this serpent’s tongue, it’s obvious he does not work for nor support the American people.
He is a demon for sure. Eyes wide open!!!
You don’t speak for Americans, Chuck.
he is Chucky the lier.
Best way to defend is to attack the messenger. He is not disputing the footage itself, just that it was released. This guy needs to be in jail, not just lose his job.
