coming on his lips. he s the one always trying to manipulate the facts. remember even after the mueller report came out finding no evidence of collusion between trump and russia. schumer refused to rule it out. of course, schumer repeatedly lied about brett kavanaugh just to try to keep him off the court. so, how does schumer or any of these individuals who let our country into a ditch have any standings to claim the mantle of honesty and integrity of the issues of americans. what an honest press used to demand. now, the media, democrats and a few establishment republicans, you know who you are? they re all crowing of the release of the january 6th footage. what were you and everyone else trying to hide these past two
building. you can t hide the truth by selectively picking a few minutes out of tapes and saying this is what went on. it s so absurd, it s nonsense. completely placating the base of my party is not the right way forward for the republican party or for the country. i think what happened on january 6th was despicable. in america you can believe what you want, but you can t act on it in a way that constitutes violence. i think it was an attack on the capitol. but as for speaker mccarthy he says he does not regret sharing the january 6th footage with fox news and tucker carlson, arguing the decision was made for transparency. and of course former president donald trump is also weighing in. he posted on his fledgling social media site praising fox news, blasting the january 6th committee and calling for the
several of them are calling out fox news for down-playing the violence of that dark day. we ll have those comments in just a moment. plus, the latest on the kidnapping in mexico that ended with two americans dead and two others in the hospital. and also we could be closer to finding out who sabotaged a russian pipeline last year. that new reporting is straight ahead. good morning and welcome to way too early on this wednesday, march 8th. i m jonathan lemire, thanks for starting your day with us. and we ll begin this morning with a growing number of republican senators blasting fox news and prime time host tucker carlson for showing select footage from the january 6th insurrection on his prime time show. that footage provided by house speaker kevin mccarthy.

carlson exclusive access to and released video from the january 6th attack on the u.s. capitol. tonight, carson airs some of that. let s talk about this with john miller, mark mckinnon, patrick mchenry, and our senior media reporter, all of a darcy who was parachuting in for this segment. as with parker just said all over. the crowd was enormous, he says, a small percentage of them were hooligans. the committed vandalism. you ve seen their pictures again and again. but bill roaming majority pot. they were peaceful, orderly, needs. they were sightseers. . that was in the news part of that they. the news part of the day was that there was an insurrection. it was the hundreds of people who cause damage and injury an insurrection. i think he s missing the headline from that day. and how they got in the
