That rascal Tucker is back with the senate’s bipartisan response to the video we saw on Monday. It goes without saying, they weren’t happy about it. Highlights include:
“Last night we showed video from surveillance cameras on Capitol Hill. That video was recorded 26 months to the day before, January 6, 2021, and for 26 months that footage was held from the American public, the January 6 Committee made certain. Now, the justice department also kept a lid on that video footage, and in fact, in some cased DOJ did not share it with criminal defendants who’d been charged on January 6 in violation of their Constitutional rights.”
“Once again, you can draw whatever conclusions you like from that video, we have ours and we shared them with you, but it’s really beyond debate that it is good for this country for Americans to be able to see it. The media and politicians, the people in charge have talked about January 6 every day since it happened for 26 months. And so, at some point, the evidence should be presented to the public.”
“In free countries, governments do not lie about protests as a pretext to gain more power for themselves. They don’t selectively edit videos for propaganda services and then lie about them in fake hearings and show trials, but that’s exactly what happened, and every member of Congress should ask why that happened.”
“A couple of obvious observations, you don’t often see the senate majority leader openly call for censorship on the floor of the senate, as if that was totally normal and didn’t contradict the spirit and the letter of the First Amendment, but of course it does.”
“But what’s really happening here? What you’re seeing is hysteria, the overstatement, the crazed hyperbole, the red in the face anger, what is that? Well, it’s not outrage. Of course, it’s fear, it’s panic.”
“Those videos, which we did not retouch, which we brought to you after running everyone by the Capitol police to make certain that we didn’t imperil anybody … those videos touch a nerve because they’re a threat to the lies that Chuck Schumer has been telling for the last 26 months, and not just Chuck Schumer.”
“From this we learn two things. One, we’re getting close to what they really care about, and you have to ask yourself, why? Why is it so important that they would degrade themselves by telling such obvious lies and calling for censorship?”
“And the second thing that we learn from this is that they’re on the same side.”
