The speaker says he gave the footage to Carlson in the name of transparency and accountability, but that action has drawn widespread, bipartisan criticism.
Rep. Nancy Mace said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday that “every media outlet, every defense attorney” should have access to the video that McCarthy made available to Carlson. Mace appeared to criticize Carlson’s downplaying of the attack, saying “there was violence on that day. You cannot deny that.”Sen. Kevin Cramer said on NBC News’s “Meet the Press” that he also disagreed with characterizing the insurrection as peaceful.
“You know, a four-hour stroll through the Capitol that’s marred by a half-hour of rioting doesn’t make it a peaceful protest,” Cramer told host Chuck Todd. But he also called for moving past the debate. “What frustrates me as much as anything, Chuck, is that we’re talking about it again.”
