Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger is condemning a Fox News segment in which host Tucker Carlson said the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was 'mostly peaceful chaos.'
“The Department maintains, as anyone with common sense would, that had Officer Sicknick not fought valiantly for hours on the day he was violently assaulted, Officer Sicknick would not have died the next day,” Manger said in the letter.
The police chief said his department stands by the officers shown in the video clips aired on Carlson's program. “You fought like hell on January 6 and risked your lives to protect the Constitution and everything this country stands for. You, along with our law enforcement partners, saved every Member of Congress and their staff,” Manger wrote, “TV commentary will not record the truth for our history books. The justice system will. The truth and justice are on our side.”
