Tucker Carlson Shares New Jan. 6 Footage Showing Capitol Police Escort ‘QAnon Shaman’ to Senate

Surveillance footage from inside the Capitol on Jan. 6 shows “mostly peaceful chaos,” Tucker Carlson said Monday night. powerful” after the riot, which is widely believed to have caused his death.

Carlson has obtained more than 40,000 hours of unseen CCTV footage of the riot and will air selected clips during the course of this week.

The Fox News host told viewers that the footage — given to him by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy — challenged the prevailing narrative of the riot as a violent uprising.

He also referred to Ray Epps – a rioter who supporters of Donald Trump believe was an FBI informant. Epps himself has stated that he did not work for the government.

“They were orderly and meek,” Carlson said of those storming the Capitol. ‘These were not insurgents; they were tourists.’

Carlson said they “revere the Capitol, obviously,” noting that they took selfies and “lined up in neat little lines.”

“Deadly Revolt.” Everything about that sentence is a lie,” he said.

“Very little around January 6 was organized or violent.

“Surveillance videos from the Capitol show mostly peaceful chaos.”

Carlson pointed to images of the “QAnon Shaman” — a bare-chested, Viking-helmeted Jacob Chansley — in the Capitol.

Chansley, a 33-year-old Navy veteran from Arizona, was one of the most high-profile figures to enter the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

He was sentenced to four years in prison for ‘obstructing an official procedure’.

In the footage, Chansley appears to be guided by an official as he wanders around the Capitol.

He passes a line of riot police, who make no move to stop him.

They then escort him to various entrances to the room that appear to be locked, eventually finding him an open door through which he disappears.

“Virtually every moment of his time in the Capitol was captured on tape,” Carlson said.

“The tapes show that the Capitol Police never stopped Jacob Chansley. They helped him. They acted as his guides.’

Carlson also showed the moments after Officer Brian Sicknick was confronted by the rioters.

Sicknick, 42, died on January 7 – the day after the riot.

Brian Sicknick is seen shortly after the Capitol was breached. Carlson said he looked “healthy and vital.”

In April 2021, the DC medical examiner ruled that Sicknick, who was injured during the confrontation with rioters, suffered a stroke and died of natural causes.

“To this day, media accounts describe Sicknick as someone who, I quote, was ‘killed’ on January 6,” Carlson said.

“The video we watched proves that to be a lie.”

Carlson said the officer was “healthy and vital” and noted that he was wearing a helmet.

“So it’s hard to imagine he died from a head injury,” he said.

“Whatever happened to Brian Sicknick was clearly not a result of violence he endured at the entrance to the Capitol.

“This tape puts an end to the most powerful and politically useful lie the Democrats have told us about Jan. 6.”

There have been multiple deaths related to the riot, including four Trump supporters — one of whom, Ashli ​​Babbitt, was shot dead by Capitol police.

Four officers died by suicide in the days and weeks following the riot.

There have also been about 1,000 arrests.
