Most of the Republicans in Congress, especially the leaders, are trying to portray the insurrection as an innocent tour of the building and the insurrectionists are just pawns of the administration’s attacks on former President Donald Trump.
When the investigators wanted to view the building’s video they had to sign that they would not reveal the locations of the security cameras and other security measures. The reasons are obvious. Without even asking for advice or authorization Kevin McCarthy, leader of the House Republicans, who is also the Speaker of the House of Representatives, turned all the videos over to Fox News’s Tucker Carlson. Apparently Fox did not have to promise not to reveal any security measures or procedures to protect the Representatives or Senators.
How far will those people in the House go to trying to suck up to the Far Right Wing of their party? How far will they go before they turn off the moderates and independents they need to be elected? Granted, the Districts are designed to insure they are re-elected if they don’t go too far into outer space. Senators are staying out of the picture because they need more than the far Right nuts to be elected in a state wide election.
Most of the officials in the Capitol Building that day still haven’t seen any halos on the January six insurrectionists.
