New York Congressman and gubernatorial candidate has criticized the recent PBS documentary that highlighted the efforts of citizen investigators known as 'sedition hunters' in identifying individuals involved in the events of January 6th, 2021. The documentary claimed that over 1,200 Americans had been charged in connection with the Capitol breach, and touted it as the largest operation in FBI history.
The congressman expressed concerns regarding the state-funded nature of PBS and referred to it as 'state television.' He suggested that the documentary aimed to turn Americans against each other and create a revolutionary atmosphere. He also questioned why certain key individuals involved in the events of January 6th, such as the pipe bombers and those who erected gallows, had not been identified or apprehended.
