Senate Republicans have pushed back against Fox News' portrayal of the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol as "mostly peaceful," with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell holding up a letter from the head of the Capitol Police to demonstrate that the security footage shown on the show "Tucker Carlson Tonight" was selectively chosen and did not accurately reflect the violence that occurred. Other Senate Republicans have also argued that the attack was a serious threat to the safety of those in the Capitol and that it should not be downplayed.
