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
tonight keeping them honest with signs other times in the political climate today. they run the gambit from the downright dangerous to the nearly trembling and absurd. it s fair to ask if there is a threat connecting all of them, political philosophy of nihilism driving it or whether this was a moment for whatever reason that one example, new mexico, for home shot at belonging to democratic officials. the man now in custody and charged in connection with the crimes was a republican who lost the state house race in a landslide and refused to concede. he seemed agitated, he seemed a little aggressive to me. i did not consider him a threat then, but he was upset that he lost the election. that s debbie o malley, who joins us shortly. she said police who may be who tweeted after the election, quote, trump just sentenced for 2024, i stand with him. i never conceded my h g 14 race, not considering my options. the options he allegedly chose was politically motivated, that
