Tucker Carlson shares new January 6 footage showing Capitol cops escorting ‘QAnon Shaman’ to Senate

Surveillance footage from inside the Capitol on January 6 shows “mostly peaceful chaos,” Tucker Carlson said Monday night, airing clips of the infamous “QAnon Shaman” apparently being shown on the Senate floor, and airing footage of the Officer Brian Sicknick apparently ‘healthy and vigorous’ after the riot before dying of a stroke the next day.

Carlson has been given more than 40,000 hours of unseen surveillance camera footage of the riot, and will broadcast selected clips over the course of this week.

The Fox News host told his viewers that the footage, provided to him by Kevin McCarthy, the Speaker of the House, challenged the prevailing narrative of the riots as a violent insurrection.

He also referenced Ray Epps, a troublemaker who Trump supporters say was an FBI informant. Epps himself has testified that he was not working for the government.

“They were neat and meek,” Carlson said of those who stormed the Capitol. ‘These were not insurgents; they were tourists.

Carlson said they “obviously revere the Capitol,” noting that they took selfies and “made orderly lines.”

‘Deadly insurrection. Everything about that sentence is a lie,’ she said.

‘Very little about January 6 was organized or violent.

“Surveillance video from inside the Capitol shows mostly peaceful chaos.”

Carlson pointed to images showing the ‘QAnon Shaman,’ a bare-chested Jacob Chansley wearing a Viking helmet, inside the Capitol.

Chansley, a 33-year-old Navy veteran from Arizona, was one of the highest-profile figures to enter the Capitol on January 6.

He has been jailed for almost four years for ‘obstructing an official proceeding’.

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

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

He is then escorted to several chamber entrances that appear to be locked, eventually finding an open door through which he disappears.

“Virtually every moment of his time inside the Capitol was recorded,” Carlson said.

The tapes show that the Capitol police never arrested Jacob Chansley. They helped him. They acted as their tour 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.

In April 2021, the DC Medical Examiner ruled that Sicknick, who was injured while confronting rioters, suffered a stroke and died of natural causes.

“To this day, media reports describe Sicknick as someone who was, in quotes, ‘killed’ on January 6,” Carlson said.

“The video we reviewed proves it to be a lie.”

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

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

“Obviously, what happened to Brian Sicknick was not the result of the violence he suffered outside the Capitol.

“This tape overturns the most powerful and politically useful lie Democrats have ever told us about January 6.”

There have been multiple deaths related to the riots, including four Trump supporters, one of whom, Ashli ​​Babbitt, was shot and killed by Capitol Hill police.

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

There have also been approximately 1,000 arrests.
