Part three of Tucker Carlson's January 6th special compares people imprisoned in the DC jail to the prisoners unlawfully detained and tortured in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib.
This series skims across valid points and intentionally faceplants into misdirection intended to terrify the audience.
Yes the cops killing people with impunity is bad, no Babbit's death is not the same as the President having drone strike assassination power.
The DC jail was bad a year ago when Tucker was calling for participants in the BLM protests to be labeled terrorists and "frog-marched in front of cameras like MS-13"
Tucker's closing message is "don't do a 9/11"

Wanna point out that this is not an educator organically advocating for Holocaust denial in the classroom, it's a direct response to the insane anti-CRT legislation passed by Republicans that is now requiring educators to think like this lest they be accused of lawbreaking.
I think this quote summarizes it really well, how are teachers supposed to arbitrate what counts as an "opposing" perspective on social issues that meets the arbitrary requirements of a state legislature that isn't thinking about students but about winning bs culture war points.
This same school district reprimanded a 4th grade teacher for having an anti-racist book in her classroom library. It's censorship, the only reason it's not being called that is because republicans created a moral panic to justify wielding the power of the state against teachers.
