Former J6 Committee members don’t like it; in fact, they’re spitting mad about it, accusing Carlson of being a right wing Putin apologist:
After Axios reported that Carlson had been given the footage, committee members reacted in outrage — mostly singing from the same songsheet: namely, accusing Carlson, a skeptic of the Ukraine war, of being “pro-Putin.”
Former committee chair Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) — who opposed the certification of the 2004 election — said: “If Speaker McCarthy has indeed granted Tucker Carlson — a Fox host who routinely spreads misinformation and [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s poisonous propaganda [sic] — and his producers access to this sensitive footage, he owes the American people an explanation of why he has done so and what steps he has taken to address the significant security concerns at stake.”
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) — whom McCarthy removed from the House Intelligence Committee due to his pattern of selective and misleading leaks — also reacted in outrage. Like Thompson, he claimed that Carlson “spews Kremlin talking points”:
Kevin McCarthy turned over Jan 6 videos to right-wing propagandist Tucker Carlson.
A man who spews Kremlin talking points. Suggests Jan 6 was a false flag. And spreads the Big Lie.
Make no mistake: This isn’t about transparency, it’s about fueling dangerous conspiracy theories.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who used false evidence as lead impeachment manager in Trump’s second trial in 2021, also echoed the claim that Carlson is a “pro-Putin journalist” — without presenting any evidence:
McCarthy giving 40,000 hrs of Jan. 6 tape to a pro-Putin journalist is an astounding ethical collapse. What security precautions were taken to keep this from becoming a roadmap for 2024 insurrection? Why isn’t it available to all media & public? Smell the MAGA propaganda coming.

I can’t think what they’re so uptight about. I mean, it’s only a very long and tedious confirmation of an actual insurrection which took place on American soil right? For which the ring leaders are currently rotting in prison for, most of them still awaiting a trial date. Perhaps they fear that, because Tucker is so obviously a far right conspiracy theorist, spewing Putin-Nazi propaganda, he and his team will claim to have found damning evidence which contradicts the official narrative, which for all the world will certainly look like damning evidence which contradicts the official narrative, but which is not in fact damning evidence which contradicts the official narrative - as no doubt will be explained to us by an army of ‘fact-checkers’.
Once Tucker sees the truth of what really happened on j6, maybe he’ll finally investigate the corrupt election that brought us all there that day… I’m not holding my breath.
