<p>Ray Epps, the man accused by many of being involved with federal law enforcement during the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, said over the weekend that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fox-news">Fox News</a> host Tucker Carlson was &#8220;obsessed&#8221; with him and trying to ruin his life.</p>
<p>Epps made the remarks in an interview that aired Sunday night on CBS News&#8217; &#8220;60 Minutes.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Brings back some bad memories,&#8221; Epps said when asked what he thinks when he looks at video of the riot. &#8220;It&#8217;s hard to see our Capitol under attack.&#8221;</p>
<p>The show then highlighted how conservative media and Republican lawmakers have called into question Epps&#8217; role in the riot.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s obsessed with me,&#8221; Epps said of Fox News host Tucker Carlson. &#8220;He&#8217;s going to any means possible to destroy my life and our lives.&#8221;</p>
<p>When asked why Carlson was focusing on him, Epps claimed that it was because Carlson was trying &#8220;to shift blame on somebody else.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;If you look at it, Fox News, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ted Cruz, Gaetz, they&#8217;re all tellin&#8217; us before this thing that it was stolen,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;So you tell me, who has more impact on people, them or me?&#8221;</p>
<p>During the interview, Epps claimed that his actions on January 6 were not directed by anyone from the federal government, including the FBI.</p>
<p>Epps addressed a text message that he sent to his nephew immediately after the riot in which he claimed that he &#8220;orchestrated it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I was boasting to my nephew. I helped get people there. I was directing people to the Capitol that morning,&#8221; Epps <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ray-epps-jan-6-capitol-protest-60-minutes-transcript-2023-04-23/">said</a>. &#8220;I know exactly how it sounds. I&#8217;ve been scolded by my wife for using that word. I shouldn&#8217;t have used that word.&#8221;</p>

<p>Carlson has focused on Epps more than 20 times on his show, which Epps says is to shift blame from those who really instigated rioters on Jan. 6. <a href="https://t.co/pBRS6tMji3">pic.twitter.com/pBRS6tMji3</a></p>
