Tucker Carlson on Thursday questioned the three-and-a-half-year prison sentence handed to UCLA student Christian Secor after he stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with a mob of Donald Trump followers and sat in Mike Pence s chair. The Fox News host later wanted to know what the former vice president thought about that. (Watch the video at the bottom.)

Carlson noted that Secor, who was suspended from UCLA, will spend far more time behind bars than two attorneys who fire-bombed a police car in Brooklyn during a Black Lives Matter protest in 2020. Carlson played fast and loose with the facts in his argument. More on that later.

But first, heres how Carlson characterized Secors involvement:

So, what exactly did Christian Secor do to spend more time behind bars a lot more than those guys? Well, on Jan. 6 of 2021, Christian Secor walked into the Senate chamber and sat down briefly in Mike Pences seat. Thats it. Didnt hurt anyone, sat in Mike Pences seat. For that, Christian Secor will spend more time in prison than people who tried to set police officers on fire to murder police officers.

First off, the convicted attorneys didnt attempt to attack police officers at all they threw a Molotov cocktail into an empty police vehicle. (Their potential sentence was later reduced from 10 years to a recommended 18 months to two years. The actual sentencing for at least one of them is expected in November .)

Carlsons description of Secors actions was a tad generous. Secor, who carried the flag of a far-right movement, joined other rioters in pushing against doors and overpowering three police officers, according to a court filing that accompanied his guilty plea, The Associated Press wrote. (He pleaded guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding.)
