Okay who cares it happened like 2 years ago why are we still talking about this
Because Trumpettes are desperate to save face after going full mask off. We all saw what happened live, we don't need some spineless corporate weasel like Carlson to interpret the events for us.

because no one can just let it go. who tf cares that it happened.
Probably the people that are in prison on trumped up charges and their families and friends. Also the public has a right to know just how corrupt the USA justice and political systems are. You have turned into a tinpot dictatorship with morons in charge that are ruining your country and your future prospects. They are stealing your money for themselves and giving billions to foreign countries and running your country into the ground. So yeah, some people care.

Dunno, I was actually there, and it was fun to watch the LARP. I wish it was as bad as some people make it out to be.
It was a bunch of idiots breaking stuff and smearing their shit on the walls. What they might've done had they actually gotten their hands on a politician is a different matter, but otherwise it's exactly the type of behavior you'd expect from Trump's elite unit of gravy SEALs.

In the 2020 defamation lawsuit by Karen McDougal versus Fox News, Fox attorneys argued that Tucker Carlson's show is not a news source but an entertainment show and that "[Tucker Carlson's] statements are rhetorical hyperbole and opinion commentary intended to frame a political debate" and not statements of fact. This was never recanted.

The judge agreed and dismissed the lawsuit, ruling, I quote, "[Tucker Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary,'" not intended to be taken as the truth.

In the ongoing Dominion VS Fox News lawsuit, Rupert Murdoch testified under oath that the company knew that the election fraud claims were bullshit but chose to push them anyway.

tl;dr: Tucker Carlson is not a news source and anything he says can and should be dismissed as bullshit.
