Schumer later reiterated his thoughts in a tweet where he claimed, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen an anchor treat the American people and American democracy with such disdain as Tucker Carlson did last night. And he’ll come back tonight with another segment.”

“Rupert Murdoch and Fox News know it’s a lie. They must order Tucker Carlson to stop,” Schumer insisted.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an anchor treat the American people and American democracy with such disdain as Tucker Carlson did last night.

And he’ll come back tonight with another segment.

As we previously reported, former President and 2024 Presidential candidate Donald Trump applauded the release in a post on Truth Social:

“Congratulations to Tucker Carlson on one of the biggest ‘scoops”’ as a reporter in U.S. history. The New Surveillance Footage of the January 6th Events sheds an entirely different light on what actually happened.”

“The Unselect Committee was a giant SCAM, and has now unequivocally been stamped as CRIMINAL FABRICATORS OF THIS MOST IMPORTANT DAY. Pelosi & McConnell failed on security.”

“The Police story is sad and difficult to watch. ‘Trump’ and most others are totally innocent, LET THEM GO FREE, NOW!”
