House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), maintained his decision Tuesday to provide Fox News host Tucker Carlson temporary exclusive access to 44,000 hours of Capitol video beginning January 6, 2021.
When reporters asked if he regretted the move, McCarthy responded flatly, “No,” according to The Hill.
“I said at the very beginning, transparency. And so, what I wanted to produce for everybody is exactly what I said,” McCarthy explained. “The people could actually look at it and see what’s gone on that day.”
And the American people have the absolute right to see the video footage because they paid for it.
The speaker refused to support Carlson’s remarks. The never-before-seen footage, that the Democrats hid from the American people, demonstrated that the Capitol protest was not a “deadly insurrection.” Yes, a riot broke out consisting of less than 9% of the people at the protest, but it was not an insurrection by any stretch of a Democrat’s imagination.
“I continue to hold that my job here, just like I was asked long before, is to make sure all the transparency comes out. And that’s exactly what I’m doing,” and that fake news people can “interpret the way they want.” And they will interpret it in favor of leftist Democrats like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer who had a meltdown after Carlson’s show.

McCarthy’s decision to provide Fox News early access to the 44,000 hours of video, as well as Carlson’s subsequent coverage of it, has been condemned by the Biden administration, congressional Democrats, and the family of Brian Sicknick. Sicknick’s family was probably afraid of the leftist mob going after them. It was said that Officer Sicknick, that the Democrats exploited his death with lies that he was murdered by Trump protesters hitting him on the head with a fire extinguisher, supported and voted for Donald Trump.
Senator Mitch “The Turtle” McConnell (R-KY), said Tuesday that he agreed with Capitol Police Director J. Thomas Manger’s report that Carlson’s show was spreading “offensive and misleading conclusions about the Jan. 6 attack.”
Of course McConnell would say that. He joined Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in not accepting National Guard troops offered by the Trump White House before the January 6 protest. McConnell was Senate majority leader at the time and so he was responsible for the Senate’s security via the Senate’s Sergeant At Arms.
“It was a mistake, in my view, Fox News to depict this in a way completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here at the Capitol” McConnell told reporters. Well, his view would be wrong. On Tuesday night’s show, with a follow-up on the January 6 lies told by Democrats and their boot-licking sycophants in the misinformation fake news media, interviewed a now former Capitol Police officer who told a different story from the official establishment bullshit story.
Attorney General Merrick Garland, the most corrupt attorney general in our nation’s history, refused to comment directly on Carlson’s airing of the video footage during a presser on Tuesday the DOJ, but said the facts about the Capitol riot are well-established. Actually, the lies about the Capitol riot are well-established. The “facts” not so much.
“Over 100 officers were assaulted on that day, five officers died. We have charged more than 1,000 people with their crimes on that day and more than 500 have already been convicted,” the attorney general added. “I think it’s very clear what happened on Jan. 6.”
They keep repeating the lie that 5 officers died on January 6. It’s a complete fabrication. Even officer Sicknick did not die on January 6. He died of a stroke on January 7, a minor detail, but one that demonstrates how much the Democrats are willing to lie.
