George Orwell’s “1984” is a masterpiece, which makes it so painful to see it misquoted, misinterpreted, and attached to anything someone doesn’t like. “The View’s” Whoopi Goldberg, who probably hasn’t read “1984,” was happy to have the federal government and a small select committee have control over all of the January 6 security footage and what the public would see and not see. But the Speaker Kevin McCarthy released the footage into the private sector, and now it’s Tucker Carlson who’s taking a page from “1984” by telling viewers to reject what their eyes and ears are telling them.

Only the committee’s edit was intended for the public’s eyes and ears. Trust the state.
The desperation 😂

While telling us to believe our eyes and ears.

That's bizarre and actually a reflection of Orwell's idea: somehow knowing and seeing more is worse than knowing and seeing less.

My eyes saw a completely different “riot” then described by the media.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

What? Tucker SHOWED the video so viewers can believe their own eyes

I would say there's a 100% chance she has never read 1984.

Believe it or not, it’s possible to believe that there were violent mobs on January 6 and that there were peaceful citizens who were guided in by the Capitol Police and did nothing more than take selfies. Both can be true.

Wait so wanting to see the evidence is rejecting evidence?

I’d say video footage is spot on

The irony and lack of self awareness never ceases to amaze me.

This level of projection is unreal

Strange that Whoopi Goldberg doesn’t understand that video counts as objective evidence of what occurred.

Ummmm… no that's backwards.
They kept the footage secret and only gave us their version of events.
They pounded it into peoples' heads daily.
Now they are scared of what people's own eyes and ears will say to them.
This is bizarre.

Does anyone even watch the View?

This editor has to say how disappointed he was to see so many men in the audience the other day when they turned the camera around to show the audience without masks on. What man gets dragged into the studio audience of “The View”?
