House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Tuesday evening was ambushed by rabid, left-wing reporters for giving Fox News host Tucker Carlson access to January 6 footage.

The Democrat-RINO-Media complex collectively lost their minds after Speaker McCarthy gave Tucker Carlson never-before-seen January 6 footage.

The newly released J6 footage blew the “insurrection” narrative up.

So-called ‘reporters’ asked McCarthy why he chose transparency over politics in deciding to release the footage.

McCarthy defended Tucker Carlson and said transparency was his first priority.

“Each person can come up with their own conclusion, I just wanted to make sure that I had transparency,” McCarthy said.

The Speaker then blasted CNN for airing footage that put his security at risk.

“I know when CNN.. where you guys actually broke where we were. This was a secret location…I don’t know if you got concern about that. I don’t even know from a point of security if we can ever be taken there again – but when you broke that at CNN that was a real concern to a lot of people,” McCarthy said blasting the CNN reporter.

McCarthy said he worked with the Capitol Police to make sure he wasn’t posting any footage that would put security at risk.

“I worked with the Capitol Police. I asked them for any clips on the way that they had concern with, the security level. Only one of the clips did. We were able to change that,” McCarthy said.

McCarthy then revealed something new about the January 6 Committee.

“An interesting thing the Capitol Police told us when we went through this is that January 6 never asked them about that – the security, so that’s why they showed, unfortunately, Vice President Pence when he was being escorted out – they used my office…they never asked the Capitol Police if that’s showing security clearance – which they should – they didn’t! They didn’t ask me as well,” McCarthy said.

A new poll from Rasmussen has found that most Americans believed that the COVID-19 virus leaked from a lab in Wuhan and that officials covered it up.

This comes on the heels of new reports which seem to confirm the lab leak theory at the very least.

Gateway Pundit was one of the first sites to suggest it was a lab leak.

It’s amazing to think that this was a supposed ‘conspiracy theory’ just months ago, according to Democrats and the media.

The Washington Examiner reports:

America knew: 67% believed COVID lab leak, while 65% thought officials covered it up

Most were not surprised last week when two federal agencies expressed confidence that the source of the coronavirus was a leak out of a Wuhan, China, lab.

Nor were they shocked by other recent reports that said masking didn’t do much to stop the spread of COVID-19.

And suspicions that U.S. officials played a role in covering up China’s monstrously deadly attack on the world were also met with a knowing nod.

In fact, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports survey on the COVID topics, most in the U.S. showed that they have been dismissive of claims from the media and Biden administration about the virus, masks, and how it started.

Consider these findings in the survey:

– On the leak, 67% said they “already believed” it came from “the Wuhan lab,” a claim made in the early days of the crisis by former President Donald Trump but dismissed in the media. Just 20% said they were surprised when an Energy Department and the FBI fingered the lab leak as the likely source of the virus.

– On masks, 49% said that they “already believed” that they didn’t work before the recent reports that masks were ineffective. Some 35% said they were surprised.

– And 65% suspected that U.S. officials were involved in the “cover-up” to hide “China’s role” in the pandemic. House Republicans are looking into ex-virus czar Anthony Fauci’s ties to China and the lab.

– Overall, just 43% gave a good grade to U.S. public health officials for the handling of the virus, while 55% graded them fair to poor, and just 1% were not sure.

Is anyone surprised by any of this?

It’s a matter of common sense. This poll suggests that most people have it.
