WASHINGTON, D.C. — Desperate to keep more of the American public from seeing previously unreleased security camera footage from the January 6, 2021 breaching of the U.S. Capitol, New York Senator Chuck Schumer has now issued a warning that the Buffalo Hat QAnon Shaman will crawl out of the television set and kill anyone who dares to view the video.
"I cannot overstate how dangerous this is," Senator Schumer said to members of the media at the Capitol. "I heard from a friend who said their uncle's cousin's ex-wife told them that this video is cursed. Cursed! If you watch the video, at some point in the next seven days, the Buffalo Hat QAnon Shaman will supernaturally crawl out of your TV and murder you! Save yourselves! Watch CNN! It's your only hope!"
Fox News host Tucker Carlson has come under heavy criticism from government officials on both sides of the political aisle and members of the mainstream news media for airing previously unseen video from the day of the riots, with some declaring Carlson's decision a threat to democracy itself. With Carlson's show drawing huge ratings, Schumer took a more drastic approach. "You'll literally die if you watch the video," Schumer said. "You'll die and you'll also kill democracy and freedom. That's not in any way an exaggeration."

And Schumer’s “tone” — just smarmy. He and Schiff’s is similar.
At first that was my sentiment too. But the more I think about it, the more McCarthy seems to be playing the long game. If all of the video was dumped to the public there would have been an immediate uproar, then forgotten within a week by whatever the next "news" is in the 24/7 news cycle. But by instead dishing it out a little at a time, it stays in the news longer, as it should.
This is the exact playbook the Dims have done a lot -- making an old news story seem to always stay in the headlines with a drip by drip "new information on" type "events".

American Poet Extrodenaire!
Well... Mitch is in the hospital. He fell???
Maybe he felt Tucker would not doctor the tapes where MSNBC would doctor the tapes to protect the instigators and Pelosi, et al.
“I cannot overstate how dangerous this is”
For the Marxist democrat party and the loss of their grip around your neck.
