Capitol Police chief says Tucker Carlson's Jan. 6 broadcast "filled with offensive and misleading conclusions"

Washington — The head of the U.S. Capitol Police on Tuesday denounced Fox News host Tucker Carlson's portrayal of the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol as "filled with offensive and misleading conclusions," and accused him of selectively airing footage that failed to provide context about the attack.

"Last night an opinion program aired commentary that was filled with offensive and misleading conclusions about the January 6th attack," Thomas Manger, chief of the Capitol Police, said in a letter to the department obtained by CBS News. "The opinion program never reached out to the department to provide accurate context."

The letter was first reported by Politico.
