RELATED: January 6 police officers refuse to shake Mitch McConnell's hand https://bit.ly/3F0JLxa WASHINGTON – U.S. Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger blasted Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday for showing “cherry-picked” video from calmer moments of the riot Jan. 6, 2021, rather than the “chaos and violence” that erupted that day in what officers described as Medieval warfare. Carlson got exclusive access to 41,000 hours of surveillance video recorded the day of the riot from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. Carlson portrayed the event Monday on his program as “mostly peaceful” and described as liars the officials from President Joe Biden to then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., for calling the attack a “deadly insurrection.” The riot was the worst attack on the Capitol in 200 years. About 140 police officers were injured during the attack; one died the next day and at least four others died by suicide in the weeks that followed. Fellow officers described hand-to-hand combat with rioters, as officers slipped in blood and vomit on the Capitol steps. More than 1,000 people have been charged in the attack and more than 500 have been convicted, Attorney General Merrick Garland said Tuesday. » Subscribe to USA TODAY: http://bit.ly/1xa3XAh » Watch more on this and other topics from USA TODAY: https://bit.ly/3QYKjbc » USA TODAY delivers current local and national news, sports, entertainment, finance, technology, and more through award-winning journalism, photos, videos and VR. #january62021 #foxnews
