Tucker Carlson Sparks Outcry for Calling Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn an ‘Angry Left-Wing’ Activist

Fox News’ Tucker Carlson sparked outcry Wednesday night when he called Black Capitol police officer Harry Dunn an “angry left-wing political activist.”

“On Tuesday, [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi will call on police officer Harry Dunn. 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,” said Carlson, referring to Dunn’s forthcoming testimony in front of the Congressional committee converged to investigate the deadly Jan. 6 riot.

He pointed to social media posts Dunn, who is Black, has made about racism before.

Dunn’s lawyers, David Laufman and Mark Zaid, released a statement Wednesday night that read, “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.”

They went on, “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.” The attorneys weren’t alone in speaking out. Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell wrote, “Forever grateful to officers like Harry Dunn. He put his body between lawmakers and an armed mob. You know who else Officer Dunn protected…Tucker Carlson’s son, a House staffer. RT if you stand with Harry and against white supremacy.”

3. Tucker Carlson is a danger

He was in Bill O's and Sean Hannity's shadow for so long. Now that he has some notoriety (if you can call it that) he seems to think he must be more and more outrageous to make up for lost time and to stay "on top."

Pathetic little weasel. He's not fit to shine Officer Harry Dunn's shoes.

5. How come Carlson continues to get away with shit like this?

He keeps pushing the envelope as to acceptable behavior. I think it is way past time for him to be muzzled---before he causes something genuinely tragic. Not that my opinion counts very much with Tucker's handlers at Fox....

7. So did #ucker Q Carlson not care if his own son got killed?

He probably thought he'd just go out and adopt another since he don't know how to make babies.
