Kevin McCarthy Has One Word About Tucker Carlson's ‘Downplay Of Death'

In a controversial move that some have linked to promises he made to far right GOP congressional members in order to secure the speakership, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy gave thousands of hours of video from the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol to Fox News and Tucker Carlson. (Note: McCarthy denies the link.)

Asked repeatedly about his decision and whether he has regrets about his decision now that Carlson has begun to use the video to try to alter the January 6 narrative, McCarthy kept returning to a single word — transparency.

Asked specifically if McCarthy had reconsidered his move with Carlson now using the footage to “downplay Brian Sicknick’s death” and “whitewash the events of that day,” McCarthy replied: “No.” His goal was “transparency,” he said repeatedly, defending how the video was distributed. (See ‘transparency’ definition below.)

One trouble with McCarthy’s reasoning, critics point out, is that the video delivery to Fox was an exclusive — no other media organization was given access to the video, which McCarthy said he would release more broadly at a later date, after Carlson was finished with his reframing of the events.

1. I have only 1 word for this scumbag (well, actually two words), TRAITOR!

If he's sitting there sending out (and via screwball tucker) misleading information on the J6 insurrectionists, isn't he guilty of aiding and abetting this insurrection?

Traitor!

2. He's trying to play "Trump" who says never admit to anything and never apologize for anything. nt

3. It wasn't a screw up it was the price of his speaker ship.

4. This was part of the price that McCarthy paid to become speaker

Without the commitment to give Tucker these videos, McCarthy would not be speaker
