Tucker Carlson exposed the retired Lt. General Russell Honoré who has been selected by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to lead the investigation into Capitol security during the Jan. 6 riot on Capitol Hill. On his show Wednesday night, Carlson revealed Honoré as divisive, a man who appears to have already made his determinations before the investigation has been completed.
"This is a problem that this guy should be in charge of anything," Carlson said. He later remarked "This is the guy, it's like putting Joy Reid in charge of security."
