Likely, unjustly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was the only person killed during the riot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All this occurred in the span of just a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the Capitol complex is massive, and what was happening violently on one end was not being replicated at other parts of the Capitol.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As much of the Tucker video showed truthfully, in many places and entrances, Capitol Police had allowed protesters inside, in some cases escorted them around.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other cases, the police simply stood by as the \u2018tourist\u2019 protesters milled around and took selfies or acted stupidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, ever since then, there has been a profound narrative battle pitting those fanatics on the right who said nothing at all happened and the fanatics on the left who claim Jan. 6 was worse than Pearl Harbor or 9\/11, and an insurrection that risked the essence of American democracy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, neither side is correct, but only the most extreme one-sided &#8216;insurrection&#8217; narrative was put forward by the left and last Congress\u2019 Democratic-run Jan. 6 committee, and repeated daily by the partisan, anti-Trump media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The insurrection narrative was pushed by cherry-picked videos and photos of the same short-lived Capitol violence from different views and angles, repeated in a nearly constant loop for the most distorted and dramatic effect possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But now Tucker has done the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2023\/03\/07\/capitol-police-jan-6-carlson-00085904\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">As Politico reported:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger wrote in an internal message to officers that Carlson\u2019s Monday night primetime program \u201cconveniently cherry-picked from the calmer moments of our 41,000 hours of video\u201d to incorrectly portray the violent assault as more akin to a peaceful protest.
