If you thought the right's attitude toward Jan. 6 was worrisome before, it's likely about to get worse. Carlson is the most influential MAGA-aligned pundit in the country, and he can use this footage to do huge damage to public memory of one of the most brazen strikes against democracy in American history. Axios reported Monday that McCarthy's office has been sharing a huge trove of raw video footage with Carlson since early February. Excerpts from the footage are expected to air in the coming weeks. Carlson appears to have admitted to the arrangement through his statement to Axios. "If there was ever a question that's in the public's interest to know, it's what actually happened on January 6. By definition, this video will reveal it. It's impossible for me to understand why any honest person would be bothered by that," Carlson said. The problem is that Carlson is not an honest person. This is a preview of Zeeshan Aleem's latest article.
