After Carlson criticized [[Ted Cruz|Senator Ted Cruz]] for calling the Capitol storming a "terrorist attack", Cruz appeared on Carlson's show on January 6, 2022, the anniversary of the event, and apologized for his words.<ref>{{Cite news|first=Jill|last=Colvin|date=January 7, 2022|title=Cruz apologizes for describing Jan. 6 attack as terrorism|url=https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-ted-cruz-terrorism-terrorist-attacks-tucker-carlson-34d2bd99f1504c18fc60ee7deb2318fe|access-date=January 8, 2022|website=[[Associated Press]]|language=en}}</ref>
[[Speaker of the United States House of Representatives|House Speaker]] [[Kevin McCarthy]] in early 2023 gave Carlson, solely and specifically, 44,000 hours of security surveillance video from the day of the Capitol attack. Carlson subsequently edited that footage and aired it on his show to illustrate his own narrative about the event, painting it as peaceful and other media outlets as liars when portraying the attack as violent. Carlson did not mention any of the thousands of individuals charged with crimes related to the attack, including assault with dangerous and deadly weapons, nor the planted pipe bombs, nor those who were injured or died during or after the attack.<ref>{{citation| url=https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/tucker-carlson-new-video-provided-speaker-mccarthy-falsely-depicts-jan-rcna73673| last=Sahil| first=Kapur| title=Tucker Carlson, with video provided by Speaker McCarthy, falsely depicts Jan. 6 riot as a peaceful gathering| date=March 8, 2023| publisher=NBC News| accessdate=March 8, 2023}}</ref> The segment prompted a scathing condemnation from the family of [[Brian Sicknick]], a [[United States Capitol Police]] officer who died the day following the Capitol attack,<ref>{{citation| url=https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/mar/07/jan-6-footage-tucker-carlson-brian-sicknick-family| title=‘Sleaze-slinging’ Fox News denounced by family of January 6 officer who died| date=March 8, 2023| newspaper=The Guardian| accessdate=March 8, 2023}}</ref> as well as reproachment from Democratic and Republican politicians<ref>{{citation| url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64883668| last=Wendling| first=Mike| title=Republicans slam Fox News' Tucker Carlson over Capitol riot clips| date=March 8, 2023| publisher=BBC News| accessdate=March 8, 2023}}</ref> and the ire of Capitol Police Chief [[Tom Manger]].<ref>{{citation| url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/03/07/capitol-police-tucker-carlson-footage/| last=Jackman| first=Tom| title=Capitol Police chief blasts Tucker Carlson over ‘misleading’ Jan. 6 footage| date=March 7, 2023| newspaper=The Washington Post| accessdate=March 8, 2023}}</ref>
