WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden slammed Tucker Carlson over the Fox News host's portrayal of the Jan. 6 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol amid growing and bipartisan condemnation of coverage that downplayed the insurrection.

"More than 140 officers were injured on Jan 6. I’ve said before: How dare anyone diminish or deny the hell they went through?" Biden said in a tweet Wednesday. "I stand with the Capitol Police. I hope House Republicans feel ashamed for what was done to undermine our law enforcement."

Carlson, equipped with 41,000 hours of video surveillance footage from the Jan. 6 attack exclusively provided by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, falsely described the riot as "mostly peaceful chaos" in television segments this week. Carlson said some officers helped rioters and acted as "tour guides."

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called Carlson out by name and said the Biden administration agrees with U.S. Capitol Police Chief Tom Stanger and lawmakers from both parties who have condemned his portrayal of Jan. 6

"We agree with Fox (News') own attorneys and executives who have repeatedly stressed in multiple courts of law that Tucker Carlson is not credible when it comes to this issue," Jean-Pierre said.

She added: "To have said what he said, when we saw Capitol police officers lose their lives, it's just shameful."

Manger called the Fox News segments "filled with offensive and misleading conclusions about the Jan. 6 attack" and said its "most disturbing" accusation was that Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick's death had nothing to do with Jan. 6.

The Washington D.C. medical examiner said Sicknick died two days after the riot from natural causes after suffering a stroke as a result of an acute brainstem. The medical examiner also said "all that transpired" on Jan. 6 "played a role in his condition."
