“Ray Epps CLEARLY Was Working for Somebody…The Core Claims About Jan 6 Were a Lie” – Tucker Carlson Discusses the Truth About the Jan 6 Files

[Skylar]

Another reason Tucker was fired

The timing says otherwise. It was something more recent.

 

[Toro]

Carlson, who just parted ways with Fox News less than a week after the network agreed to pay $787 million to settle a lawsuit over false claims about the 2020 election, has relentlessly portrayed Epps as an FBI stooge who provoked the Jan. 6 rioters. In this alt-history of Jan. 6, the rioters are the persecuted victims of corrupt law enforcement institutions that were hijacked by elites to suppress a virtuous, if regrettably violent, uprising against an illegitimate order.​

​

The Epps conspiracy theory is based largely on video of him on Jan. 6 urging Donald Trump’s supporters to converge on the Capitol. Epps is seen whispering in the ear of one of them, after which the mob rushed police officers, supposedly showing he inspired that attack. After the FBI declined to prosecute Epps for his role on Jan. 6, the false-flag theory took hold.​

​

But a new “60 Minutes” episode debunks this with additional video of Epps just after he whispered to the man. It shows Epps repeatedly urging the rioters to calm down and refrain from violence. “They’re not the enemy,” Epps told the rioters, speaking about the police.​

​

Epps is hardly a hero. He continues to suggest the 2020 outcome is dubious, and on Jan. 6 he sought to inflame others with the same idea (while urging them to remain peaceful). But his story stands as a damning indictment of Carlson, right-wing media and Republicans in Congress who sought to push the false-flag theory.​

Do you have evidence that Ray Epps works for another government agency, private contractor, NGO, or the DNC?

Anything at all?

Of course not

Ah, you're cueing the timing from Ray Epps interview.

Okay. I don't think so, but that's plausible.

 

[Dragonlady]

The timing says otherwise. It was something more recent.

It's the Dominion settlement, and the January 6th documentary which the police and Republican members of the House and Senate have criticized as inaccurate. The Capital Police are preparing a law suit. Abby Grossman just sued F0X last week citing sexual harassment, misogyny, racism and anti-Semitism by Carlson.

F0X didn't want to fire Carlson while the trial was underway. Not a good visual when you're denying any kind of wrongdoing. But Carlson was just piling up more potential liabilities with his attacks on Ray Epps, his whitewashing of January 6th, and his toxic treatment of women and minorities in the workplace. They're already out 3/4 of a billion on account of his lies.

Why isn't he in jail?

 

[Skylar]

Why isn't he in jail?

What crime would he plausible be charged with?

And way to dodge my question. Your concession is noted.

Chump change.

Are you serious? That cuts it. You do not believe your eyes and ears? Why deny the obvious?

 

[Skylar]

I'm serious enough to ask what crime Epps could plausibly be charged with.

It seems you're gonna run from that too.

I'll be here if you ever muster the courage to try again.

Instigating a riot. It is why the majority believe it was a Fedsurrection.

 

[Lesh]

Why isn't he in jail?

Why aren't you?

 

[Lesh]

Instigating a riot. It is why the majority believe it was a Fedsurrection.

Was ANYONE charged with instigating a riot?

No?

Oh

 

[Skylar]

Instigating a riot. It is why the majority believe it was a Fedsurrection.

When did he 'instigate a riot'? Specifically.

And 'Fedsurrection'? Oh, Last......you didn't swallow ANOTHER baseless conspiracy theory, did you?

What's your evidence that the feds instigated the attack on the capitol, tinfoil?

He told the people they had to go into the Capitol. He left out the part where the FBI frames them. You are defending tyranny. Why can't you understand that?

 

[Lastamender]

No?

Oh

Was anyone charged with insurrection?

 

[Skylar]

He told the people they had to go into the Capitol.

On January 5th. Check the sky. It was black outside.

Incitement to riot requires advocacy of imminent lawless action. Not action the next day with several meals and good nights sleep behind it.

Not one person was charged with incitement. Not even the guys charging the barricades. Not even the guy who sent the crowd t to the capitol.

Once again, your conspiracy is just you not understanding how the law works.

He left out the part where the FBI frames them. You are defending tyranny. Why can't you understand that?

The FBI frames them.....according to who?

You're making the classic conspiracy blunder. You're hypothesis (the feds did it) is also your evidence. That's like saying that the earth is flat because the earth is flat.

You need evidence that the FBI framed anyone for what happened on J6. You just assuming it must be so is more meaningless batshit.

 

[Lesh]

Was anyone charged with insurrection?

You didn't answer the question stupid.

You claim that Epps should have been charged with instigating a riot and the fact that he wasn't is evidence that he was a Fed.

But NO ONE was charged with that

MORON

[Skylar]

Smiling.....so you've got jack shit to prove that Ray Epps did anything. Or that he worked for the feds. Or that he commited any crime. Or that he started the attack on the capitol.

Shocker.
