CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 8, 2023
TUCKER CARLSON HAS BEEN SHOWING VIDEOS OF THE JANUARY 6 DEMONSTRATIONS AT THE U.S. CAPITOL THAT HAD BEEN HIDDEN BY THE SO-CALLED JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE.
THEY SHOW PEACEFUL PROTESTORS WALKING CALMLY THROUGH THE CORRIDORS OF THE CAPITOL BUILDING AND CAPITOL POLICE GUIDING AND OPENING DOORS FOR THEM. THEY DO NOT SHOW ANY BREAKING OR STEALING, OR EVEN YELLING.
THE VIDEO DISPLAYED BY THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE SHOWED NONE OF THAT. THAT’S BECAUSE THE COMMITTEE HAD A NARRATIVE IT WANTED TO ADVANCE. YES, THOSE WHO RIOTED SHOULD BE PROSECUTED AND MANY HAVE BEEN. LIKE VIDEOS OF SOME POLICE ACTIONS AGAINST SUSPECTS, THEY DON’T ALWAYS SHOW THE REST OF WHAT HAPPENED.
THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE HAD A FORMER ABC NEWS EXECUTIVE PRODUCE THE HEARING. ALL COMMITTEE MEMBERS WERE ANTI-TRUMP, INCLUDING THE TWO REPUBLICANS PICKED BY THEN-SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI.
THE NARRATIVE WAS THAT TRUMP CAUSED THE SO-CALLED “INSURRECTION.” THE WORST THE PEACEFUL PROTESTORS SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH WAS TRESSPASSING AND FAILING TO GO THROUGH METAL DETECTORS. BUT THIS IS HOW THE LIBERAL POLITICIANS AND THEIR MEDIA COLLABORATORS PLAY THE GAME. ESTABLISH THE NARRATIVE AND RUN WITH IT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
