Capitol Officer's Lawyer Claps Back After Tucker Tried to Come for Him Over Jan. 6 Committee Hearing

Capitol Officer's Lawyer Claps Back After Tucker Tried to Come for Him Over Jan. 6 Committee Hearing
Fox News // ABC News

Like far too many right-wing lawmakers and media personalities, far-right Fox News host Tucker Carlson has repeatedly denied the severity of the Capitol Riots of January 6, which were prompted by former President Donald Trump's months-long smear campaign against the validity of the 2020 election.

Carlson has falsely suggested the FBI was secretly behind the riots, that lawmakers were never endangered, and dismissed the idea that the rioters ever posed a threat.


As the House Select Committee to investigate the riots prepares for its first hearing, Carlson is now targeting Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn, who is slated to testify before the Committee.

Watch below.

Carlson said:

"Dunn will pretend to speak for the country's law enforcement community. But it turns out Dunn has very little in common with your average cop. Dunn is an angry left-wing political activist whose social media feeds are full of praise, not coincidentally for Nancy Pelosi."

The documented white supremacist and loser of Dancing with the Starswent on to cite Dunn's social media posts opposing racism and supporting Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California as reasons he couldn't be trusted, despite being a direct witness to the events of the failed insurrection.

Dunn's lawyers issued a statement decrying Carlson's latest screed.

The statement reads:

"Tonight Fox News allowed its host Tucker Carlson, who has not served a day in uniform, whether military or law enforcement, to criticize the heroism and service of African-American U.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn. Our client has served 13 years in law enforcement and on January 6, 2021, fought against an insurrectionist violent crowd ― no doubt many of them Carlson's supporters ― to protect the lives of our elected officials, including Vice President Pence.

Officer Dunn, who would lay down his life to protect a Member of Congress, regardless of being a Republican or Democrat, will testify next Tuesday before the House Select Committee investigating the events of the insurrection. Frankly, the last thing Carlson wants is for the truth to emerge of what happened that day and why."

People applauded the response.




Meanwhile, Carlson was inundated with backlash.





The House Select Committee hearing will be on July 27.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.

Mamdani ran a campaign centered around economic populism, arguing that the city, a global financial center, has grown unaffordable for everyday residents, citing soaring rents and grocery prices, and outlining policies aimed at reducing the cost of living.

Graduate Goes Viral For Refusing To Shake Principals' Hands After They Did Nothing To Stop Her Being Bullied

For as often as U.S. schools declare that they will not tolerate bullying, maybe school systems need to be called out for not practicing what they preach.

TikToker Sarah Delaney recently caught her younger sister, a brand-new high school graduate, doing just that as she crossed the stage for her graduation. When her name was called, she gracefully stepped onto the stage and accepted her diploma before crossing to greet the school's two principals and several other school officials.
