  1. I want this case to go to the Supreme Court level, let it set a precedent and alter the 1A. Show people that the 1A and freedom of press is not freedom to lie and manipulate people

    1. @Kitaro His selective editing provides the misdirection that suggests a misleading conclusion on the part of the audience. It’s not that hard to construct any narrative you like – and we know what Tucker likes, don’t we? “the whole truth and nothing but the truth” – right?

    2. @MJL please explain how that police officer who was ment to die in the crowd was alive then 20 mins later then died days later or the fact that police were guiding them around or the fact the Sharman was having pray with the police thanking them for letting them in oh and oh ray epps

    1. If biden needed over 25,000 troops to guard him from the people on Inauguration Day, then it’s clear that he wasn’t elected by the people🤣🤣🤣💀

    1. @HelloUneducatedSnowflakes0
      Thst wasn’t why they were there (and there wasn’t 20k–my nephew was there.)🙄

    2. ​@HelloUneducatedSnowflakes0 you are one of those Fox News hosts and workers laugh at in there offices🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  2. This is something you’d see in a movie. Corrupt politicians attempting to cover their crimes

  3. These Senators shouldve thumb Kevin. They know very well what would happen with that info in tucker’s hands

  4. People of the world, please know these people do not represent most Americans of any persuasion. They are our embarrassing relations that have lost their way but they deserve justice, even if they want to deny the same to others. Messy, confusing, challenging democracy.

    1. @Marc Lucido Yeah, that’s what I’m worried about. A lot of your people seem to tend to interpret your Second Amendment rather loosely.

    2. @Kosinuss loosely? I think you got it wrong I am not a Democrat. I am a Constitutionalist. The founding fathers built the 2nd amendment to defend all of the other amendments and to prevent a tyrannical government (such as GB at the time) from infringing on those rights. The constitution and the founding fathers were pretty clear on that.

    3. @Susan Blakey-Grusing The police where aiding the insurrectionist? Your going to take the AOC stance on this, really?

    1. @Louise Collard LOL because he gave the footage out so the rest of the nation can see an opposing opinion for once. Yeah great reason for firing someone because they where to transparent.

    2. If there is nothing to see in those tapes why is the left so scared about them being released?! Let the people see the tapes and come up with their own conclusions!

    3. @Joshua Sepanski No one should have been given complete access to all of the security footage for what should be obvious security concerns and reasonable precautions. However, McCarthy chose to do the stupid thing anyway. But also, he did not give it to “the people” – he gave exclusive access to a known liar and propagandist. If it cannot be revoked or limited in scope for security, then such access should be granted to all the news outlets immediately.

    1. @melsuggs3389  I don’t know if they had ot or not…. but I do know they wouldn’t have shown the main character of “jan 6th insurrection” being lead through the capitol by police. That would be a danger to democracy lol

    1. If biden needed over 25,000 troops to guard him from the people on Inauguration Day, then it’s clear that he wasn’t elected by the people🤣🤣🤣💀

    2. How dare you ????? You better repeat and say wha msnnb cnn got from the honest Adam Schiff an pelosi is allll real and obviously true !!!

    1. @ad lucem But what specific help did black Americans need or think they needed from the system that caused them to riot when they apparently didn’t get that help?

      What “diversion”? Do you mean Democrats supposedly defending rioting? Something like *that* is a cheap “diversion”?

      You said the Dems had been seen as not helpful to blacks. What help in what area was needed?

    2. @Adelbert Huggins You don’t have to believe anyone. Watch the video, and see for yourself. Not that hard.

  6. seen this play so many times. im numb to it. They’ll cry foul on camera, – “omg!!'” in the public arena. But when it comes time to hold someone accountable and mete out any punishment i can guarantee u silence. They’ll feign shock and surprise but i bet u not one of them will do a got damn thing about it.

  7. As someone who took an interest in the Jan 6th attacks from afar, I would say that GOP senators ‘haven’t a leg to stand on’ when criticising anyone else about playing down the attacks. Could it be the kettle calling the pot black perhaps???

  8. “The worst attack on democracy since the Civil War!” *insert Henry Hill coked out laugh gif*

  9. Thank you for the transparency it was very transparent to me on January 6 while I was sitting watching it live I don’t need a police report also tell me what happened

  10. The media is so effing annoying. Instead of shouting inaudible individual questions after Mccarthy said all he wanted was transparency, the only questions that should have been asked after that is, why didn’t you then release the video to all media outlets? And when will you be doing that? Our media outlets are so aggravating.

    1. What media outlets? I guess OAN or Newsmax. But the others would do nothing with it. It goes counter to their narrative.

    2. They need Mehdi Hassan to be asking the questions. Kevin Mccarthy would not be allowed to get away with his obvious BS.

  11. I was there on January 6th.
    As Jesus is my witness, I thought the Capitol was holding a free screening of the movie Deliverance.

    1. That’s really not too hard to believe in fact it’s not surprising at all and almost expected. LOL

  12. Getting escorted through a building by police is a lot different than what I was told for the past 2 years…….

  13. Can you imagine paying these people that much, trusting them with the constituents’ future….and letting curse and vulgarity slip so easily.

    Far as anybody knows, we’re sifting through these things with our older teenagers, trying to make sense. Senator belts out a vulgarism, unnecessary …just like he is. I really like this information
