Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has announced that the anticipated footage from security cameras at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, will be released.
“I’m excited to share the good news that just as I promised the J6 tapes are being released!” she wrote on Twitter.
She explained, “@SpeakerMcCarthy has given @jsolomonReports, @Julie_kelly2, and a third outlet unfettered access to the J6 tapes, and their reporting on it starts tomorrow. This is the transparency the American people deserve and I look forward to their reporting!”
So far, the American public has seen only bits and pieces of the security footage from the Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021.
In March, then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson demolished the mainstream narrative that the protests were bloody and violent, showing troubling clips of security guards appearing to nonchalantly escort a protester through the building, per RSBN.
Many Americans have been critical of the slow-drip release of the full Jan. 6 footage, which has been anticipated for at least two years at this point.
Prominent conservative account Catturd commented on Twitter that releasing the Jan. 6 tapes to three members of the press was “a million miles away” from releasing the footage to the public.
Rep. Greene replied to his remarks, pointing out, “I would love for everyone to be able to see the J6 tapes except the funded Antifa internet trolls that can’t wait to comb through every ounce of video with facial recognition software in order to doxx every person that simply stood on the Capitol grounds that day so they can ruin their lives and the FBI can raid their homes in the middle of the night and the DOJ can persecute them mercilessly.”
RSBN previously reported that Speaker McCarthy had vowed to release the Jan. 6 footage. He initially handed more than 41,000 hours of surveillance tapes to former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Since then, the American public has been waiting to view the footage for themselves.
