This Is A Necessary Big First Step — Make the Video Public!
Washington, D.C.: House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has released 41,000 hours of January 6 video to Tucker Carlson’s team. This is not only a great promise fulfilled by McCarthy, but also a huge revelation as the Justice Department had previously claimed that only 14,000 hours of footage was relevant to the investigation.
“Every single minute and camera angle from the day in question should be made public,” said Ed Martin, president of Phyllis Schlafly Eagles. “Even though handing them over to Tucker isn’t quite the ‘crowd review’ we ultimately hope for, it’s a great start. Tucker’s producers and researchers will certainly be diligent in putting all the pieces together that the government has so deceitfully hidden.
“If we are going to defeat this January 6 Hoax, we need all of the pieces out in the open. If the hundreds (and growing) of Americans being persecuted have any hope to fight back against the Narrative Machine and their Big Government enforcers, we need all the pieces in plain view so the truth can shatter the lies.
“I hope Tucker’s team are fast and accurate with their work, and perhaps even release the raw footage while they are working on the timeline. This is a huge step toward accountability and we are grateful to Speaker McCarthy for keeping his word. May it be the first of many such promises kept and may they all be swift!”
