TOPLINE

A St. Louis man who Tucker Carlson said was “clearly a law enforcement officer” and an “agent provocateur” was arrested and charged by the FBI on Wednesday over his alleged involvement in the January 6 Capitol attack—the participants of which have continuously been charged and sentenced more than two years after the attack.

KEY FACTS

The man, Daniel Donnelly Jr. , was charged with theft of government property and obstructing, impeding and interfering with law enforcement officers during the attack on the Capitol.


In a Facebook video where Donnelly Jr. was wearing red face paint and a “Keep America Great” hat, he admitted to being at the Capitol on January 6, according to the filing.

In the video, prosecutors said Donnelly Jr. talked about his experience at the riot, saying he took up a lot of space with a riot shield and that other rioters “kind of” followed his lead, later claiming he “got further than anyone.”


Carlson, who has falsely claimed multiple times that the January 6 riot was a false flag attack, displayed a picture of Donnelly Jr. in a segment on his former Fox News show, claiming Donnelly Jr. was “clearly a law enforcement officer” who participated in a government scheme against Trump supporters.

It is not clear if Donnelly Jr., who could not be reached for comment, has an attorney.

KEY BACKGROUND

Donnelly Jr. was first identified in 2021 by HuffPost, which said his biggest claim to fame was being a St. Louis Cardinals superfan known as “Rally Runner,” an unofficial mascot who sprinted outside the baseball team’s home stadium during games. A filing detailing Donnelly Jr.’s actions at the January 6 Capitol attack alleged the St. Louis man changed his legal name to Rally Runner, citing DMV records. Officers confirmed Donnelly Jr.’s presence at the Capitol through open-source, body camera and closed-captioned surveillance video, according to a filing. In photos from the filing, a man matching Donnelly Jr.’s appearance can be seen near the head of a charge at the Capitol’s lower west terrace doorway.

He is now a social media brand ambassador for himself, for his own account, and for a third party account as well, which belongs to the multinational corporation Tucker Carlson Twitter Show, Inc., which is in the process of being rebranded as Tucker Carlson X Show, Inc., and he also does brand negotiation deals for that account as well.  

Staffers beg Fox News to fire Tucker Carlson — but there's a 'dirty little secret' that makes him 'untouchable' - Alternet.org

Some asshole had Fox on two tvs at my gym today.
I glanced at the Chryon a few times. Covering important news of the day as always: Hunter Biden, Migrant crossing footage, and Chicago Crime. The classics. How anyone can watch this shit is beyond me. How anyone can turn two TVs to Fox and not feel foolish or like an idiot blows my mind.

That migrant caravan is at it again!  Weird how this story runs like twice a year and yet nothing ever comes of it.

I don’t think Fox News holds its audience in such high esteem to think they need to produce real footage of migrant caravans.   I’m pretty sure they just play clips of Three Amigos when they run those segments.  

Sew, very old one. Sew like the wind!

Fox is on at the gym (not bragging). The day after our last president was indicted for the fourth time, bringing his total number of felony counts to 91, they’re talking about……. Hunter Biden.

Or how they don't want women around...

https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/15/media/greg-gutfeld-sexist-rant-fox-news/index.html

Quote

One of Fox News’ top hosts said that many of the world’s problems would be solved if women were to vanish from the planet.

Greg Gutfeld, the right-wing channel’s resident jester who was recently promoted to host his own prime time hour, made a series of brazenly sexist comments on Monday’s edition of “The Five” during a discussion on looting.

Quote

As surveillance video played showing a smash-and-grab that occurred over the weekend at a Los Angeles Nordstrom, Gutfeld went on a rant portraying women as soft on crime and effectively blaming the entire gender for supposed policies that would prevent such crimes from being committed.

“What would happen if all the women took a ladies week off and they went to Venus … How many of these problems would still exist?” Gutfeld wondered aloud. Gutfeld, who allowed for the possibility that new problems would emerge in the absence of women, confidently argued that “smash and grabs” and “rampant recidivism” would “disappear.”

Gutfeld is not a fan of women.  Interesting.

It's endless.  Renewable energy caused the deadliest fire in U.S. history, per Laura Ingraham.  As if 1) the power lines that fell and caught the non-native grasses on fire were somehow powered only by renewable energy   and 2) there haven't been deadlier fires (the Peshtigo fire, the Thumb fire, the Great Hinckley fire etc... and others were deadlier)

Not to be outdone, Charlie Kirk attributes the Maui fires to "pagan Hawaiian culture."

That would have been a dumbass thing to say even if the electricity was generated exclusively using renewable energy.

It’s why the Hunter Biden “scandal” exists.

I think it was a border joke

It was a border joke followed by an age joke.  The equivalent to CNN saying the storm wouldn't have been bad if Trump built the wall. Just not funny.
