The unedited Capitol riot footage is out —and people are feeling manipulated by the Jan. 6 Committee.
According to a report from The Washington Examiner, Twitter CEO and world’s richest man Elon Musk blasted members of the Jan. 6 Committee for “misleading” Americans with edited footage.
Musk shared his thoughts in a reaction to a post from Greg Price.
“Besides misleading the public, they withheld evidence for partisan political reasons that sent people to prison for far more serious crimes than they committed. That is deeply wrong, legally and morally,” Musk said.

From The Washington Examiner:
The newly released video footage comes after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) handed it over to Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Democrats had previously withheld its release, citing “security concerns.”
In the footage, Jacob Chansley, the man known as the “QAnon Shaman,” is shown being escorted around the Capitol to the Senate floor by Capitol Police. Carlson suggests the footage raises questions as to the possible complicity of some officers in the riot.
The Jan. 6 committee released its final report on Dec. 22, 2022, laying out its findings that largely focused on former President Donald Trump’s role in the Jan. 6 riot and coinciding efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
