Oliver Darcy: “Right-wing media favorite John Solomon disclosed on Thursday that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has given him ‘unfettered access’ to the Jan. 6 surveillance tapes.”
“The fact that McCarthy is releasing the surveillance footage to right-wing media and hiding it from news organizations says a lot about him. McCarthy, who is very familiar with the horror that unfolded at the Capitol that day, knows that the media personalities he is giving the tapes to will use it to push bogus conspiracy theories about what happened. He knows that they will use the footage to rewrite the history of that day. And yet, he still provides them with the tapes while withholding it from news organizations.”
