The Fox News host has been condemned for trying to portray the storming of the Capitol as 'peaceful.'
The North Dakota Republican called Carlson's portrayal of the Capitol attack"a lie."
"The American people saw what happened on January 6." the Utah senator told reporters."They've seen the people that got injured. They saw the damage to the building. You can't hide the truth by selectively picking a few minutes out of tapes and saying this is what went on. It's so absurd. It's nonsense.
"People saw that it was violent and destructive and should never happen again. But trying to normalize that behavior is dangerous and disgusting.""I was there on January 6. I saw what happened. I saw the aftermath. There was violence on January 6," he told reporters. "You're entitled to believe what you want in America, but you can't resort to violence to try to convince others of your point of view," Kennedy said, according to Politico.The Texas congressman said it was"definitely stupid" that Republicans were still trying to reframe what occurred on January 6 and the footage Carlson played didn't show"anything we don't already know.
