Fox News’ Tucker Carlson is being blasted for his theory that the FBI had something to do with the deadly Capitol riot.
He first brought up the theory Tuesday on “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” telling his millions of viewers, “Strangely, some of the key people who participated on Jan. 6 have not been charged. Look at the document. The government calls those people ‘unindicted co-conspirators.’ What does that mean? Well, it means that in potentially every single case, they were FBI operatives.”
Wednesday night, after 24 hours of outcry, he brought it up again, dedicating another chunk of his show to the theory, which he sourced from right-wing website Revolver News, and decrying Twitter for slapping a warning label on his now-deleted tweet about it.
The Washington Post on Wednesday ran an analysis piece blasting “Tucker Carlson’s tinfoil-hat theory,” which Republican lawyer George Conway called “an insult to tinfoil hats.”
