Fox News and Republican lawmakers push new false flag conspiracy that FBI orchestrated US Capitol attack
The story found a home on Fox News, whose hosts and guests pushed false voter fraud claims after the 2020 election, downplayed the Capitol insurrection, and defended the rioters. Carlson has done this on his show, which often attracts the largest audience in cable news. Tuesday’s program about the false flag theory averaged about 3 million viewers, per Nielsen ratings.
