@oliverdarcy @SpeakerMcCarthy @TuckerCarlson Darcy: "Now, Tucker Carlson is back at his usual game of trying to, I, mean not even trying — lying to his audience about the events of that day."
Here's Darcy using CNN to circulate misinformation about the #TwitterFiles in December:

Politico's @kyledcheney: "What the Capitol Police is most concerned about is a wide release of massive amounts of [1/6] footage because that would enable bad actors, including, for example, foreign intelligence services, to glean information about vulnerabilities in the Capitol."
@kyledcheney MSNBC's @JoyAnnReid: "Is [@SpeakerMcCarthy] deliberately trying to give these people crucial information that they would need to plan another attack and perhaps be more successful?"
@kyledcheney @JoyAnnReid @SpeakerMcCarthy WaPo's Milbank: Americans shouldn’t be able to see 1/6 footage at all

Despite @mtaibbi's #TwitterFiles reporting — including how the FBI had a one-way conduit of communication built so they could tell Twitter what to censor — agency Director Wray just told Fox News: "We don't tell social media companies to censor anything."
@mtaibbi FBI's Wray on the FBI/CIA pre-2020 Election Day disinformation operation to convince social media companies the laptop story was fake: "I can’t speak to what former officials of the intelligence community may or may not have said."
Wray again refuses to deny the FBI had undercover assets in the 1/6 mob: “You should not read into my inability to answer a question because of my obligations as that is a clue or a hint in any way.”

@JacksonLeeTX18 @RashidaTlaib Rep. @AyannaPressley: "I woke up this morning ... thinking about my own mother & the history of black Americans locked out of every major federal relief program ... denied the ability to build generational wealth b/c of policy violence, & so we borrow & default at higher rates"

FLASHBACK!

MSNBC's @NicolleDWallace: Trump is pushing intel agencies to investigate "conspiracy theory" Covid originated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology
CNN’s @DrewGriffinCNN: “Zero proof” behind “conspiracy theory” that Covid originated not from nature but a Chinese bio lab
ABC’s @jimmykimmel: “[Trump] is also pushing intelligence agencies to find evidence for his theory that the virus was accidentally released from a lab in Wuhan. That’s his new angle to feed the wingnuts, treat the virus like it was a conspiracy.”
