GOP House Intel Chair Beclowns Himself Defending Release Of J6 Tapes
House Intelligence Chair Mike Turner (R-Ohio) proves that there's no such thing as a serious Republican. None of them are any better than Trump or Marjorie Taylor Greene when they're willing to spew this sort of nonsense. Turner was asked about the decision by new House Speaker Mike Johnson to release thousands of hours of the security footage from the Januray 6th insurrection on this Sunday's Meet the Press, and Turner defended the decision, pretended there's information we don't already know about what happened, and also tried to "both sides" just who's been cherry-picking what's going on in the videos.
As usual, there was very little push back from the always useless Kristen Welker.
KRISTEN WELKER: Let me ask you quickly about the newly-elected Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. He just made the decision to release, and he started the process, 40,000 hours of footage from January 6th. The Capitol Police have expressed real concerns that that could jeopardize the security of the Capitol. Do you think it was responsible to release all of the footage from January 6th?
