Looking at other art by him, his latest piece Democracy features three figures in voting booths, one with their pants pulled down. Sure feels timely. He wrote a nice blurb with it too, I love it when artists include some of their thoughts in portfolios rather than just the photos alone (though this piece was a sculpture).

"Storming" seems a perfectly apt word to use for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnzQXD2_d38.

They did not. Protesters broke into two different entrances (which has been abundantly documented), then opened the doors from inside. This video is editing it together to look like the police welcomed the protesters in.

Ah really? And what about this staged "storming" which rather looks like a guided tour by police through the rooms with the police opening doors?

Why is your CNN not talking about that? Not fitting their narrative, mhm?

Switching the subject and going "oh really, then what about…" is not really a good way to have an argument. The existence of one thing doesn't change the other.

In this particular case, your claim has been promoted by conspiracy theorists, and is not true. What the video you posted does not show (because it's been carefully edited and has no audio) is that he was repeatedly asked by the police to leave. They're not giving him a "guided tour".

AP debunked it back when the Carlson broadcast that video:

Tucker Carlson is uses conspiracy theory and misinformation as a tool to stoke rage and undermine political enemies. He has portrayed abortion as human sacrifice, blamed hurricanes on abortion, denied man-made climate change, and is constantly caught in blatant and often ridiculous lies. Clearly his charm has worked on you, though, and I don't really know what else to say.

You are mistaken, it's not Tucker Carlson who convinced me that climate change isn't man made, it's the many many facts that speaks against a climate change that is significantly influenced by man. Our influence is just significantly too small. And I am not talking about pollution here, I condemn water, sky and soil pollution as anyone else who loves this beautiful earth.

And when it comes to abortion, I do think it can be considered in some way or the other as human sacrifice, but again, that's not thanks to what you find charming in Tucker Carlson. I don't even like him too much, but he's got it right on many points. You call that a lie, fine with me. But I call it a lie that the forceful Capitol entering was a "storming", I still consider it pretty much staged by agitators, following a nice blueprint which has been played out in other countries, too.

And after all, you are boring calling those things conspiracy theories. This lolly has been eaten so many times, it's lost its taste already.
