That question is actually more difficult than you might think. They embraced the ones about the election. Not to mention, of course, the many deranged Conspiracy Theories pushed by President Trump about ted cruzs dead, muslims and much, much more. Marjorie Taylor Greene is not the only Republican Office holder who has been pushing but the only one republicans are contemplating admonishing. Senator thune, i regret to inform you when it comes to embracing Conspiracy Theories and dangerous lies in general, House Republicans have already made their decision. Ryan nobles is on capitol hill.

newly appointed proprieor of that material as the new speaker of the house. that s despite the fact that he pointedly refused a lawful congressional subpoena from the 1/6 select committee last year. now in defending his decision to share 41,000 hours of previously unreleased footage exclusively with far-right insurrection-friendly personality tucker carlson, mccarthy is showing americans he either does not understand or does not care about the potential risk that decision presents. speaking with the washington post, mccarthy suggests this, that the public fury over the selective release isn t really about egregious security concerns. in fact, it s about jealous, he insisted on the part of the media at the heart of the outrage. hang on. it gets better. today politico is first to report that house republicans, many of whom have framed the 1/6 insurrection as the defendants in those criminal cases as victims of a political attack are now moving to provide those defendants acce
