After listing a series of compliments about Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, Fox News host Tucker Carlson criticized the lawmaker for accurately describing the events of January 6, 2021.

"We are approaching a solemn anniversary this week," Cruz said during a committee hearing Wednesday on Capitol Hill. "And it is an anniversary of a violent terrorist attack on the Capitol where we saw the men and women of law enforcement demonstrate incredible courage, incredible bravery, risk their lives to defend the men and women who serve in this Capitol."
