Liz Cheney to Fox News: 'Un-American' to Call Jan. 6 a 'False Flag'

[Zorro]

While not naming Tucker Carlson explicitly, Cheney’s comments on Fox News definitely appeared to reference the Fox star’s recent docu-series sowing doubt about Jan. 6.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) went on Fox News Sunday and took an apparent swipe at Fox News star Tucker Carlson, claiming that anyone who spreads “false flag” conspiracies about the Jan. 6 insurrection is “un-American” and “dangerous.”

In recent days, Cheney—who is the vice-chair of the House Select Committee on the Jan. 6 attack—has engaged in a heated back-and-forth with Carlson and Fox News over his Patriot Purge docu-series.

“It appears that Fox News is giving Tucker Carlson a platform to spread the same type of lies that provoked violence on January 6,” Cheney tweeted on Oct. 28. “As Fox News knows, the election wasn’t stolen and January 6 was not a ‘false flag’ operation.”

In the deranged three-part series, which is currently airing on Fox News’ online subscription streaming service, Carlson suggests that the federal government orchestrated the Capitol riot to frame conservatives. He further warns there’s a “new war on terror” targeting “legacy Americans,” all while relying on a bevy of conspiracy theorists and provocateurs to bolster his claims.
