Video Transcript
- Leader McCarthy, you said both publicly and privately after January 6 that you thought Trump bore some responsibility for the attack. Do you still feel like he was in any way responsible?
KEVIN MCCARTHY: Look, I've answered that many times. I thought everybody in the country bared some responsibility, based upon what has been going on-- the riots on the streets, the others. Having spent time and seeing what's going forward, what happened in January 2 when the National Guard was offered to protect this Capitol? Prior to January 6, we had a problem at this Capitol where they broke through the police in the Kavanaugh hearings. What change took there? There's a legislative purpose for Congress to look at. You have a separation of powers. Pelosi continues to play politics.
