FBI Arrests Jan. 6 Rioter Previously Discussed on Tucker Carlson Show

A Jan. 6 rioter, formerly known as Rally Runner, who was the subject of a conspiracy theory on Tucker Carlson's show, has been arrested by the FBI in St. Louis. Rally Runner faces federal charges for obstructing law enforcement officers during the Capitol attack. Previously, a lawyer representing Jan. 6 defendants claimed on Carlson's show that Runner was a law enforcement officer and agent provocateur, but it was later revealed that Runner was a genuine Trump supporter. The lawyer and Carlson have not responded to requests for comment. Runner confirmed his participation in the riot through social media videos, and the FBI affidavit cites these videos as evidence.
