Capitol Police Chief Manger expresses outrage at Tucker Carlson for spreading 'offensive and misleading conclusions' about the Jan. 6 insurrection, including a 'disturbing accusation' that Officer Brian Sicknick's death had nothing to do with the riot.
WASHINGTON — U.S. Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger on Tuesday ripped Fox News host Tucker Carlson for spreading"offensive and misleading conclusions" about the Jan. 6 insurrection, including a"disturbing accusation" that Officer Brian Sicknick's death had nothing to do with the riot.
In a letter to the Capitol Police force that was obtained by NBC News, Manger conveyed his outrage overaired on his prime-time program on Monday night. The security video was exclusively provided to Carlson by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. "The program conveniently cherry-picked from the calmer moments of our 41,000 hours of video," Manger wrote in the letter."The commentary fails to provide context about the chaos and violence that happened before or during these less tense moments."
Manger continued,"Finally, the most disturbing accusation from last night was that our late friend and colleague Brian Sicknick’s death had nothing to do with his heroic actions on January 6. The Department maintains, as anyone with common sense would, that had Officer Sicknick not fought valiantly for hours on the day he was violently assaulted, Officer Sicknick would not have died the next day.
