MICHAEL FANONE (GUEST): What Tucker Carlson forgot to talk about -- like you said earlier -- is the 140 officers like myself that were severely injured as a result of this violent insurrection and attack on our Capitol. 

ANDERSON COOPER (HOST): You know, I mean, the idea of Tucker Carlson being in that mob that day and not wetting his pants is hard to imagine. I mean, I find it hard to understand somebody who has never put himself in harm's way in any capacity for anyone else or on reporting a story and yet has the audacity to try to rewrite history. I mean, that's what this is. It is an attempt to rewrite history on what is one of the most consequential -- you know -- certainly one of the biggest events in American democracy and the biggest events in American democracy.
