Tucker Carlson Went Too Far and Even Republicans Know It
Tucker Carlson’s broadcast of an exclusive set of Jan. 6 security footage handed over by Speaker Kevin McCarthy went too far for even some Republicans.
On this week’s episode of The New Abnormal, hosts Andy Levy and Danielle Moodie discuss Fox News’ latest string of crises, including the latest court document dump from Dominion Voting Systems’ blockbuster $1.6 billion case against the network—and Carlson’s airing of the Jan. 6 tapes, where he was accused of cherry-picking visuals for the broadcast in an attempt to whitewash the deadly D.C. attack.
“I will say that it was a little nice,” Levy says of the surprise backlash from a bunch of Republicans, including Mitt Romney, John Thune, and Mitch McConnell. “It was good to see that what he did went too far, even for some Republicans in the Senate, if not for, apparently, a single one in the House.”
