Tucker Carlson's portrayal of the deadly Jan. 6 attack as a largely peaceful event on his prime-time Fox News show set off a dangerous new wave of social media chatter that includes death threats against Capitol police officers and Democratic leaders, according to experts who monitor extremism and a report from Advance Democracy shared exclusively with USA TODAY. 

The segment that aired last week downplayed the violence at the Capitol two years ago, recasting the Washington mob that breached the Capitol as an "orderly and meek" gathering of "sightseers." 

Carlson's claims, which accompanied clips of Capitol security footage, drew an angry reaction from right-wing users who fired off threats on Twitter and in pro-Trump forums directed at politicians who have made public inquiries into the violence, especially the congressional Jan. 6 committee.

Those threats came in far greater numbers than before the broadcast, according to the Advance Democracy report.

Why Americans are not worried about banks

Silicon Valley Bank's stunning failure may have rattled Washington and the markets. 

Americans, not so much.

Americans still trust their banks despite the historic run on deposits that caused the bank to collapse. They also trust the government to handle the crisis if their bank fails. 

And most bank customers say they are at least somewhat confident that their money is safe despite two other bank collapses and warnings that more collapses may come, according to a new survey from decision intelligence company Morning Consult shared exclusively with USA TODAY.
