Fox News host Tucker Carlson has sparked controversy by airing selectively edited footage of the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021, portraying it as a peaceful visit by Donald Trump supporters and claiming Democrats were involved. Carlson's comments have been met with criticism, and most Senate Republicans have rejected his narrative. The FBI has launched an investigation into the attack, and the events of January 6th have been a major topic of discussion in the weeks since.
