Ex-Liberal Icon Apologizes After Tucker Questions J6 Narrative

-

A third-wave feminist and former advisor to leaders and has offered a surprising apology.

Controversial author published a post to her Substack newsletter last week offering a mea culpa on behalf of her former team's reaction to the coverage of the . The online essay followed 's airing of selected clips from the riot.

In her essay, Wolf compared the disclosure to the Pentagon Papers, which showed conclusively multiple presidential administrations had systematically lied about U.S. involvement in Vietnam.

Wolf called it a “formal letter of apology.” From her to conservatives and Trump supporters everywhere:

I don't agree with Mr. Carlson's interpretation of the videos as depicting “mostly peaceful chaos.”[https://thehill.com/homenews/media/3887103-tucker-carlson-shows-the-first-of-his-jan-6-footage-calls-it-mostly-peaceful-chaos/] I do think it is a mistake to downplay how serious it is when a legislative institution suffers a security breach of any kind, however, that came to be.

But you don't have to agree with Mr. Carlson's interpretation of the videos to believe, as I do, that he engaged in valuable journalism simply by airing the footage that was given to him.

And remember, by law, that footage belongs to us — it is a public record, and all public records literally belong to the American people. “In a democracy, records belong to the people,” explains the National Archives.

You don't have to agree with Mr. Carlson's interpretation of the videos to conclude that the Democrats in leadership, for their own part, have cherry-picked, hyped, spun, and in some ways appear to have lied about aspects of January 6, turning a tragedy for the nation into a politicized talking point aimed at discrediting half of our electorate.

Wolf had been ensconced in the Democratic Party's upper echelon. She had a falling out in 2014 when she baselessly accused an ISIS execution video of being faked by the U.S. . Her colleagues further dissociated themselves when she railed against COVID-19 restrictions and FDA-approved vaccines.

In 2021, she posted a video showing her progress in firearms training. In response to criticisms from liberal commenters, Wolf told one she'd be happy to explain why, as a survivor of sexual abuse, she “wishes to master self-defense via safe handling of a weapon.”
