During his Fox News primetime show on June 15, 2021, host Tucker Carlson launched into a diatribe accusing the FBI of orchestrating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. His basis? Charging documents in criminal cases cite “unindicted co-conspirators.”
“What does that mean? Well, it means that in potentially every single case, they were FBI operatives,” Carlson asserted. This comment may have been stated as fact, but it is in fact flimsy, when scrutinized, which we will do below.
Carlson cited a report on the website Revolver.news, an opaque, pro-Trump site that regularly promotes media appearances by former U.S. President Donald Trump’s speechwriter Darren Beattie. Beattie was fired in 2018 by the White House after speaking at an event with white supremacists.
