ignored the president. because he knew there was no serious fraud. but in your view, who should be in the chair first before the committee and why? well, i hope you ll forgive me for not saying who should be first. but we will be issuing a series of subpoenas. we will, i m sure, first be interviewing the potential witnesses in a deposition typesetting before we have a public hearing. our goal is to find all of the facts. what led up to january 6th. who was involved? obviously there was preplanning. you don t show up to a rally in a bullet proof vest with weapons. so who funded it? who coordinated it? you just raised the yes, you don t show up at a rally with a bullet proof vest. i m assuming you re talking about moe brooks. i was warned on monday there might be risks associated with the next few days. i did not go to hi condo.
every meeting leading up to, during, and after the attack. reporter: republican leader kevin mccarthy saying he didn t watch the hearing, instead, holding a press conference beforehand blaming speaker pelosi. on january 6th these brave officers were put into a vulnerable, and impossible position because of the leadership at the top has failed. reporter: and alabama republican moe brooks who spook at the rally on january 6th before the capitol riot. do you have anything to say about the capitol police officers? reporter: they expressed outrage about the republicans who refused to accept reality of what happened that day. and then president trump s conduct afterwards defending the riots and calling them, quote, very loving, cuts these front line officers deeply. heit s a pathetic excuse for his behavior for something that he himself helped to create this
there, and at the beginning and also some grainy footage of our african american vice president woman of color at the beginning. it s just a blatant play of the race card. well, it s also factually wrong. if you watch the full ad, she uses some of the footage from a protest in huntsville, alabama nature that was from being biden and harris were in office. she was saying this is their america, look at this. this is what i m going to run to change. they weren t even in office. donald trump was in office. mike pence was in office when that happened. but i think this is what you re seeing, especially with this alabama senate race, of course, because moe brooks who was at the day of the insurrection speaking at the rally beforehand was one of the people telling people to go and kick some ass. this is who they re running against. it s how trumpy can you be in this race? that s an important point. 20 republican health seats up. that alabama seat right here, pretty safe to say in a midterm
he tolerates her. he tolerates matt gaetz who s under doj investigation over allegations involving federal sex trafficking, prostitution, and public corruption laws and whether he allegedly had sex with a minor. he tolerates moe brooks who whipped up the crowd ahead of the capitol insurrection just before they stormed the capitol with the goal of hanging the vice president. kevin mccarthy tolerates them, but he can t tolerate any republican standing up for the truth about one of the darkest days in american history. and let s face it, the last thing most republicans want to serve on the january 6 is to serve on the january 6th committee in spite of all their whining about this being partisan. that is one of our most sacred rights as americans is under increasing assault with conservatives on the supreme court basically gutting voting
different congressmen that have done different things that mccarthy has not punished them for. you have moe brooks. the words he was using. some said he was inciting violence on the sixth. no repercussions for that or for marjorie taylor greene who mccarthy did not move to strip from the committees after the conspiracy theories she put out there, and indicating she supported violent acts against democratic leadership. instead, the full house had to strip her of her committees. that s how that worked out. congressman matt gaetz is under a federal investigation around reports of potential sex trafficking and a relationship with an underage minor and fundraising with white nationalists. again, these are all things that mccarthy has not punished any of these people for. so there begs the question, a lot of people are asking you re
