Tucker Carlson condemned for bizarre comparison between George Floyd's death, BLM and Capitol riot

Tucker Carlson has been condemned for bizarrely comparing Black Lives Matter demonstrations to the Capitol riot, for which he said Democrats were “flat out lying”.

The controversial Fox News anchor also claimed on Wednesday that the death of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police — which sparked Black Lives Matter protests last summer — was a “carefully concocted myth” by “Democratic partisans” to upend the country.

And that “myth”, according to Mr Carlson, was the same method being used by Democrats as they set-out their arguments against ex-US president Donald Trump during Wednesday’s trial.

Senators were shown shocking footage from the day the US Capitol came under attack by the pro-Trump mob, including the moment a number of Republicans were evacuated from the Senate chamber as rioters swarmed the building.
