- Manger took particular issue with a segment showing what appears to be Capitol Police officers escorting Jacob Chansley, known as the “QAnon Shaman,” throughout the building as “tour guides” as Carlson described them, and Carlson’s focus on Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, whom a medical examiner found had suffered a stroke and died of natural causes a day after protecting the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
- The New York Times reported on January 8 that Sicknick was beaten to death with a fire extinguisher during the riot, but five weeks later retracted the story when it was shown he died the following day of what the D.C. medical examiner said were natural causes.
- His family and the police believe his death was related to the riot.
