On March 8th, 2023, Politico reported that some House GOP members are considering taking action against Tucker Carlson, a Fox News personality, for his coverage of the January 6th Capitol riot. The House GOP members are reportedly concerned that Carlson’s coverage may have incited violence and promoted false conspiracy theories about the election.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the House GOP members are considering a range of actions, including censuring Carlson, calling for an investigation into his coverage, or even attempting to have him removed from his position at Fox News. However, it is not yet clear how many House GOP members are involved in these discussions or what actions they will ultimately take.
The move against Carlson comes as Congress continues to investigate the events of January 6th and as concerns about misinformation and extremism in the media continue to grow. Carlson has been a controversial figure for his commentary on a range of issues, including immigration and race, and has faced criticism in the past for promoting false conspiracy theories.
It remains to be seen how this situation will develop and what impact it may have on the broader political landscape.
