McCarthy and Trump have a history of problems. The point being that here again, it's all subject to opinion and interpretation. Not a smoking gun. Trump denies he said it. Even the NBC commentator said that McCarthy was "making sure that his Speakership ambitions are secure" (around 3:30).
There were tens of thousands of hours of Cap Bldg security footage. The footage House Democrats released to the media was selective and fit the narrative they desired. The footage later released by force contradicted the narrative. Yes, the riots we see looping on Lib media wee accurate, but were selected based on how they could profit the anti-Trump narrative.
Here is some of that footage. Yes, it's Tucker, but the footage speaks for itself. Besides, since Tucker revolted against Trump and Maga, it shouldn't present the problem for Liberals it might have in the past.
Democrat media glossed over it, claiming it 'sugarcoated' the event. Wrong. It merely presents the realities the Democrats tried to keep hidden, as it didn't serve their objectives and Narrative.
First, a link to the entire Jan 6 security cam archive:

Please watch the below in entirety. Ignore the source and focus on the video and facts.
Again, I'm not denying that
some Trump supporters rioted and were subject to the full extent of the law.
But that's not the whole story by a long shot.
