In a reaction to Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s release of previously suppressed January 6 footage on Monday night’s episode of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” 45th President Donald Trump called for the prosecution of congressional January 6 Committee members for “their lies and, quite frankly, TREASON!”
The once-hidden security footage from the grounds of the U.S. Capitol building on January 6 released by the Fox News host purportedly shows U.S. Capitol Police officers nonchalantly escorting Jacob Chansley, the “QAnon Shaman,” around the Capitol complex and into the Senate chamber, Valiant News reported.
“Virtually every moment of his time inside the Capitol was caught on tape,” said Carlson of the footage. “The tapes show the Capitol Police never stopped Jacob Chansley. They helped him. They acted as his tour guides.”

After ostensibly viewing Carlson’s show last night, the 45th President took to his social media platform to decry the actions taken by the partisan January 6 Committee and described the ordeal as a treasonous Democrat con.
“LET THE JANUARY 6 PRISONERS GO. THEY WERE CONVICTED, OR ARE AWAITING TRIAL, BASED ON A GIANT LIE, A RADICAL LEFT CON JOB,” the former president wrote. “THANK YOU TO TUCKER CARLSON AND SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE KEVIN McCARTHY FOR WHAT YOU BOTH HAVE DONE. NEW VIDEO FOOTAGE IS IRREFUTABLE!!!”
As even more footage is set to be released by Carlson tonight, President Trump slammed the committee for suppressing the footage and called for its members, including Republican Reps. Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Democrat Reps. Bennie Johnson, Jamie Raskin, Adam Schiff, to be dealt with criminal charges.
“Tucker Carlson a MUST WATCH tonight. Releasing more VIDEO which was ‘HIDDEN BY THE CROOKED J 6 UNSELECT COMMITTEE.’ They should be prosecuted for their lies and, quite frankly, TREASON!” the former president wrote in a separate Truth Social post.

Last night, Carlson said that federal assets may have been acting as agent provocateurs covertly inciting violence among members of the protesting crowd.
“For more than two years, we have wondered why some in the crowd that day who seemed to be inciting violence were never indicted for it. We assumed these were federal agents of some sort. We still assume that,” Carlson said on his show prior to releasing the tapes.
“In fact, there were many examples of behavior that we saw in those tapes that didn’t seem to make sense. Men in civilian clothes holding doors open for protestors, escorting others through the Capitol, ecettera. We would love to know who those people were.”

“After ostensibly viewing Carlson’s show last night…” What do you mean “ostensibly”? If Trump said he watched it he watched it. Do you ever say Biden “ostensibly” anything?

Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger are traitors to our country. They are complicit with the anti-American Commucrats in desiring to take down our country simply because they have a deep ungodly hatred for one man.

President Trump is correct those who CHEATED Pedo Joe and the Ho in Office committed TREASON because they prevented the DULY ELECTED President from taking Office. All those who were trying to boot President Trump using the FAKE report of Russian Collusion are also guilty of TREASON which means that most of the FBI upper levels are TRAITORS. All should be rounded up and HANGED as all TRAITORS DESERVE. Were we talking about a REAL REPUBLICAN that did what was done for Pedo Joe they would still be swinging from a rope on the Capitol steps.
