So thank you for congresswoman cawthorne for educating me as to that. what are people saying on the hill? >> what democrats are saying is it just shows where the republican party is right now, which is that kevin mccarthy is willing to be more forceful in his condemnation of madison cawthorne about this issue rather than about whether its marjorie taylor greene or paul gosar and them making anti-semitic comments and racist comments. hes not willing to take action against them. in fact hes willin...

Police officers? why werent there enough police officers? why didnt the national guard come? were they told to stay back? the questions arent answered a year later. >> thats one of the questions i have. they planned to be out planned and out manned. foreign terrorists would come to capitol hill. the weapons that were sheer numbers of people and ideology and what seemed so scary when i talked to people. the fact the u.s. capitol police did not have enough of a plan, the sergeant-at-arms on both s...
