Marlon Wayans isn’t buying Tucker Carlson’s attempt to whitewash the Jan. 6 Capitol rioters as “sightseers”—joking during a guest hosting gig this week on The Daily Show that all the Fox Host proved “was that you can make anything look better by not showing the bad part.”
“Sightseeing my Black ass,” Wayans added as the audience erupted into laughter. “If you have to punch a cop on your way in, you’re not sightseeing. You fight seeing.”
On Monday and Tuesday night this week, Carlson aired some never-before-seen footage shot inside the Capitol on Jan. 6 — video that was handed over to him by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy as part of a deal with his party’s far-right flank.
