Many people have reacted to the release of the January 6 footage by Fox News host Tucker Carlson, including President Donald Trump, Elon Musk and others.
Elon Musk has called for Jacob Chansley to be released from prison after he was seen on surveillance video acting as a “tour guide” to police.
Mark Zuckerberg’s official fact-checkers on Facebook and Instagram are claiming that the Jacob Chansley debate with the police is false.
Chansley got 4 years in prison for a non-violent, police-escorted tour!?
Dave Chapelle was violently assaulted on stage by a guy with a knife. That guy got a $3000 fine & no prison time. https://t.co/qDRWxozD8B

Elon Musk replies that the surveillance video clearly shows the police opening the doors for her and calmly walking with the officers as Jacob Chansley thanks them.
Free Jacob Chansley, Musk said. “Chancelle gets 4 years in prison for nonviolent, police-escorted tour!
Dave Chappell was violently attacked on stage by a man with a knife. The guy got a $3000 fine and no jail time, Musk continued.
The Capitol Police literally opened the Senate chamber door for him on camera!” Musk said. “But who are you going to believe, the Instagram “fact-checkers” or your own lying eyes!

Donald Trump Jr. also shared Musk’s remarks on Instagram.
It’s literally on video!!!” Trump Jr. wrote. “And yet fact checkers are still flagging this as misinformation on places like Blaze.
You literally can’t make it up anymore. You’ve seen me criticize these organizations a lot, but now it’s getting ridiculous and hopefully everyone will see how biased they really are, Trump Jr. said.

I think it will get fact checked, even though I am pointing out that their fact checking things other people are saying is total BS, we need some objectivity in ‘fact checking’.
Elon Musk concluded, “Chancelle was falsely portrayed in the media as a violent criminal who sought to overthrow the state and who urged others to commit violence.
But here he is urging people to maintain peace and go home. And the second video shows him walking calmly into the Capitol building, being escorted by officers and then thanking the officers, he said.
