Sen. Mitt Romney told me that McCarthy made a mistake in giving Carlson the Jan. 6 footage and said Carlson’s portrayal of the Capitol attack was “dangerous and disgusting.” — PolitiTweet.org

US Capitol Police chief: “The program conveniently cherry-picked from the calmer moments of our 41,000 hours of video. The commentary fails to provide context about the chaos and violence that happened before or during these less tense moments.” https://t.co/MKb39o2hR7 — PolitiTweet.org

Sherrod Brown the latest vulnerable 2024 Dem to say he’s going to vote for resolution to block DC crime law. “That was the side that the mayor took, the side law enforcement took, and I plan to vote that way,” he told me this AM. — PolitiTweet.org

Cramer on McCarthy giving Carlson the footage. “The best thing to do is to give it to every source at the same time and let everybody go through it and play it in its entirety. … and then avoid the political opinions versus just looking at the facts.” — PolitiTweet.org

“But when you see police barricades breached, when you see police officers assaulted, all of that … If you were just a tourist you should have probably lined up at the Visitor Center and came in on an orderly basis. I just don't think it's helpful,” he said — PolitiTweet.org

Some pushback from GOP senators this AM after McCarthy gave Tucker Carlson J6 footage and the Fox host sought to downplay attack. “To somehow put that in the same category as a permitted peaceful protest is just a lie,” Sen. Kevin Cramer told me. — PolitiTweet.org

Romney to me on Trump’s CPAC speech: "I couldn’t listen to someone speak for an hour 45 minutes. So I simply can't imagine the chutzpah to think the audience wants to listen to someone go on that long. The Gettysburg Address as I understand it, was slightly shorter than that." — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy, who plans to vote against GOP resolution: “We should be careful what we wish for. We haven’t done this in a long time because we have generally feared getting dragged into micromanaging the affairs of the city. We can barely macromanage the affairs of the US” — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Durbin, No. 2 Democrat, tells us the WH sent 'mixed signals' on Biden's views on DC crime bill. “They gave a signal that led the House Democrats to take a certain action, and the president then took a different position when he came to the Senate — speaks for itself.” https://t.co/IO1UUnvbPW — PolitiTweet.org
