    House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) slammed a CNN reporter during a brief interaction with reporters in which he answered questions about releasing footage from the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol to Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

    "Because of the footage that you gave Tucker Carlson, last night he went on and said this was a mostly peaceful chaos as he said, he downplayed Brian Sicknick's death, said it was not related to January 6, that this was not an insurrection," CNN's Manu Raju said. "Do you regret giving him those [tapes] so he could whitewash the events of that day?"

    "No. I said at the very beginning, 'transparency,'" McCarthy said. "And so what I wanted to produce for everybody is exactly what I said, people can actually look at it and see what's gone on that day."

    When asked if he agreed with Carlson's portrayal of the events that took place on January 6, McCarthy said, "Each person can come up with their own conclusion."

    "But I just wanted to make sure I had transparency, because I know on CNN, I mean, I had here where you guys actually wrote where we were," McCarthy continued as he held up the printed off CNN report. "This was a secret location ... I don't know if you got concerned by that, I don't even know from a point of view of security if we could ever be taken there again. But when you broke that at CNN, that was a real concern to a lot of people."

Understanding that this fragile Republic of the self-governed is in a precarious space in our nation's vast history: What is your honor bound patriotic duty in helping to sustain the continuance of these United States of America?

  I will depend on my Democratic Socialist politicians to continue to march hard toward the Left to provide Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for all who think and do as they are told.

  I will defend the Constitution of the United States of America, and support all elected leaders who pledge to protect and insure the continued sovereignty of this Representative Republic.

  I am very concerned about maintaining my current life style without working. I was told that as long as I vote Democrat, I had nothing to worry about ... but now I worry.
