Dems Squeal, McCarthy To Unleash The Kraken. Tapes Will Be Released! – WATCH
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R–CA) is promising to make good on his commitment to transparency by making public the tens of thousands of hours of U.S. Capitol surveillance footage from January 6, 2021.
McCarthy, in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, said the tapes will be released in the coming weeks with sensitive security information removed. The footage was previously aired on Fox News with host Tucker Carlson’s exclusive access to several of the tapes.
“Well this is all about transparency,” McCarthy said. “It won’t just be to Tucker. Like any news organization, different people get exclusives. We watched during the January 6, CNN would have exclusives all the time and nobody complained. CNN got to be in Statuary Hall for a whole hour for their own show. You’ve watched that January 6 would release only certain tapes. I think it’s better for transparency that anyone can make their own decision up.”
McCarthy also criticized the now–defunct January 6 select committee, which was chaired by House Rep. Bennie Thompson (D–MS). The Speaker noted that the committee refused to allow Republican Reps. Jim Jordan (R–OH) and Jim Banks (R–IN) to be seated on the committee and made false accusations against Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R–GA).
McCarthy also dismissed Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D–NY) call for censorship of the tapes. “I wish Chuck Schumer would read the Constitution,” McCarthy told Breitbart News. “The Democrats always go to censorship. You watched what they did with the laptop. You watched what they did with Twitter. They want to use the government as much as they can to censor what people can see and what people can know. This is the difference between us. I believe in the Constitution. I trust the American people, and you should just have the ability to have all the information and let people make their own judgement.”
