Fox News host Tucker Carlson blasted left-wing media outlet CNN for labeling the violent protesters on Capitol Hill as “terrorists.” Carlson condemned the violence but accused the news outlet of a double standard between how it described protestors who stormed the Capitol and the protestors who destroyed businesses over the summer.

Fox News’s Tucker Carlson later addressed CNN’s characterization of the riot as an “insurrection,” which he said was likely a marching order from the network’s president, Jeff Zucker.

“They understand how to use language, not simply to describe what is happening…they use it for political ends,” he said. “The insurrection at the U.S. Capitol wasn’t an insurrection, it was a political protest that got completely out of control, as we said before, because the president recklessly encouraged it and that is wrong. But it was not an insurrection, stop with the lying!”

Grabien Media’s Tom Elliot also called out CNN for its language saying the media has played a big role in inciting violence.
