On Wednesday Tucker Carlson ripped Democrats over their hypocrisy in regard to political violence, and in doing so he showed that more police officers were injured during the 2020 BLM DC riots than on January 6, but Democrats and their allies in the media conveniently left that fact out.
Carlson revealed that 114 police officers were assaulted at the Capitol Hill protests, and 180 police officers were assaulted and injured during the BLM riots in Washington DC in the summer of 2020.
BLM and Antifa mobs caused over one billion dollars in damages in cities across America. In Minneapolis alone, BLM mobs damaged or destroyed over 1,500 businesses or buildings, compared to 1.5 million in estimated damages on January 6.
Over 700 police officers were injured in the BLM riots nationally, in just the first half of 2020.
Tucker Carlson dropped this truth bomb on his show Wednesday night.
Tucker Carlson:
But is January 6th the worst assault on the US government since the Civil War? That’s insane. It’s not even close. How about March of 1954, when Puerto Rican separatists shot five congressmen in the Capitol building? Five members of Congress shot in the building!
…
More recently, this is an event we all remember, Antifa descended on Washington, D.C. to force the sitting president from office… but it was Trump, so that’s cool. And while they were there, they set a historic Christian church on fire, St. John’s, in Lafayette Square. Do you remember that? You should, because it happened Labor Day weekend less than three years ago. And when it happened, the left-wing mayor of Washington, D.C., refused to allow her police department, the MPD, to assist Secret Service agents while they were under siege and getting beaten. No, she made her cops stand back and watch it happen. And they were very upset about it at the time. You may have forgotten that.
…
While stipulating that all riots are bad because precision matters, facts matter. The truth matters. Here’s the truth: More cops were injured by Kamala Harris’s favorite mob BLM at the White House than were injured by Trump voters at the Capitol on January 6. A lot more!
So, again, to be clear, both events are bad. But here’s the key: we only remember one of them. Why? Because the people in charge of history are liars. Liars. And lying is bad. And on a national scale, it’s deadly. It’s corrosive of everything that is good in the country, including trust and your grasp on reality itself. And that’s where they try to make you lie. Men can become women. Climate change is an existential threat, or whatever the lie is they’re making you tell, they don’t believe it. They know you don’t believe it. But by forcing you to repeat it, they degrade and control you. They make you less of a person.
