On the June 15 broadcast of Tucker Carlson Tonight, Carlson hosted Darren Beattie, who left Donald Trump’s White House after reporting emerged that he attended a white nationalist conference, to discuss a “report” published on far-right outfit Revolver that suggests the January 6 attack on the Capitol may have been orchestrated by FBI operatives.

During the episode, Carlson claimed, without presenting any tangible proof, that “in potentially every single case,” unindicted co-conspirators referenced in legal cases related to January 6 “were FBI operatives.”

Carlson said Beattie’s piece explains that “the FBI was organizing the riots of January 6.” “It certainly suggests that possibility,” said Beattie.

Weeks before the 2020 presidential election, Beattie appeared on Carlson's show to warn that the increase in mail-in voting during the pandemic would create "a very specific type of coup called the color revolution.” Beattie claimed that “color revolution professionals” were generating election fraud in order “to use lawfare in order to overturn the 2020 election.”
