The Washington Examiner further reports:

“The point is to harm and humiliate the people you disagree with politically, and that is what they are doing,” Carlson said. “Those texts showed no evidence of any whatsoever, but since she had them, Liz Cheney thought they might be embarrassing to conservatives, so she read them on television. Some of those texts it turns out were from anchors here at Fox News. Liz Cheney took special delight in reading those.”

Carlson argued the text messages undercut what Cheney was trying to prove, which was that there was a difference between what was said on television and what was said in private text messages.

“These Are Principled People”

“These are principled people. What they say in public is not that far from what they say over text message,” Carlson said. “If you get a text from Brian Kilmeade, it sounds pretty much identical to Brian Kilmeade on Fox & Friends. These are not phonies. We can personally confirm that. Whether you like them or not, they are real. So Fox anchors on TV and in private opposed the BLM riots in the summer of 2020. Fox anchors opposed the riots on Capitol Hill in January of 2021. It turns out that anchors opposed riots. All riots. No matter who is rioting.”

  1. The problem is that the texts show Trump didn’t do anything for 187 minutes when supporters who believed his lies stormed the Capitol. Despite Sean Hannity’s pleas, Laura Ingraham’s pleas, Don Jr.’s pleas, etc.

    What could Trump have hoped the rioters would accomplish? Even if you believe the Big Lie, this crowd could’ve never stopped the Electoral College vote count. Trump knew that and let them enter anyway. And he never pardoned any of them either…

    Many police officers were injured. One woman died trying to force her way inside to the heart of the Capitol Building. Four other supporters died of natural causes (heart attack, stroke) that probably were brought on by the excitement of the situation.

    The rest is history. Just because Democrats’ ideas are worse doesn’t mean Trump is a good person.

    • Well Todd you couldn’t be more wrong. President Trump was giving a speech far from the capital grounds where the Capitol Police let in many of the ralliers to the Capitol building and where a Black Police officer murdered Ashley Babbit. There was no way he even knew there were a few idiots, probably antifa and blm terrorists looking at the way they were dressed and social media posts, as this small amount of agitators went after the barricades and a couple of officers before his speech ended. The vast majority of people walked into the Capitol building as the police had opened the doors and let them walk in.

      Only a very small amount of police were injured and that was done by the leftist agitators as that is what they do, we have watch these left wing communists, fascists, and socialists do this exact type up thing for the last 6 years. You should look at all of the videos of leftists starting with Donald Trumps inauguration day and all of the evil they have unleashed in the USA since that day.

      There is no evidence Trump is a bad person, but people who spread lies and hate like you are. Hell Demorat communists, socialists, and fascists are bad people as they are anti-American scum who want to destroy the USA and burn the US Constitution. Biden has a life long record of being a bully, thug, bigot and racist for over 40 years while Donald Trump has never been any of these things. You leftists like to project your hate, racism and bigotry onto to others all of the time, hypocrites.

  2. I’m very sad that we as of now have Democratic leaders are toxic spreading so much hate as such i have never seen or heard in my life time. I hope i live long enough to see a number of so called people held accountable for the hell they are trying put America threw. You know who i’m writeing about, this has to stop.We want law & order not the dangerous actions we are witness to.

  3. I’d kind of like to see all of Pelosi’s text messages for same time period she is asking the Trump people for. TThe fact that she disallowed any Republican with a functional brain from the committee speaks volumes=she didn’t want any upstart asking questions of her similar to those being asked of the Trump people. She starts from the position of Trump being guilty and her job is to prove it-but, what if she is the guilty one? Those questions will never be asked of her. If one is searching for the truth, all possibilities have to be examined. Frankly, she had MORE of a reason to initiate a riot than Trump did-Congressmen in the building were debating the possibility of voter fraud and she found a way to stop the debate (my opinion)
