He plants the idea that the siege was a ‘false flag’ operation to discredit Trump supporters.” January 6 is being used as a pretext to strip millions of Americans—disfavored Americans—of their core constitutional rights and to defame them as domestic terrorists.” They’re tying millions of law-abiding Americans to al-Qaida and ISIS. But wait, you say—isn’t it possible that Carlson will simply air the footage in a straightforward manner and stick to the facts of what happened on that dark day in history? Let’s examine the Fox host’s record on the matter: Kevin McCarthy has a long, documented history of rewriting the events of January 6, 2021, for his own professional benefit.

Violate the rules of the hierarchy of the caste system and you die. Identity politics is the precise inversion of the American idea: out of many, one. She may be running to be the Republican nominee, but she is fundamentally indistinguishable from the neo liberal donor base of the Democratic Party. It's impossible to imagine the Don Lemon of today – it's impossible to imagine anyone of today – speaking like that because times have so completely changed and was the arrival of Donald Trump that upended the rules. When a woman is considered to be in a prime is in her twenties and thirties and maybe forties. And in that way, Don Lemon is the perfect measure of how the nation is changing and where it's going. And that leads us to the final fateful day of his television career last week when he dared to criticize Nikki Haley. Both groups are White, but one of them is evil and one of them is holy. White middle-class voters are bad because they comprise the majority of the Republican electorate, but White elites are good. Lemon has been sentenced by the High Court of Wokeness to a term in the H.R. We used to call the middle-class "Americans." You want to break the cycle of poverty?

Over the nearly two-year probe, the panel, which was disbanded once Republicans took control of the House, created a secure room in their Capitol Hill offices for staff to comb through the more than 14,000 hours of footage. And a sharply partisan retelling of the Capitol attack could accelerate a dangerous rewriting of the history of what happened Jan. Evidence the Jan.

Capitol Police, Tom Manger, issued a terse statement when asked about the new release of footage: “When Congressional Leadership or Congressional Oversight Committees ask for things like this, we must give it to them.” Many critics warn that Capitol security could be endangered if Carlson airs security footage that details how the rioters accessed the building and the routes lawmakers used to flee to safety.
