Marjorie Taylor Greene Changes Stance on Public Release of Capitol Riot Footage<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>Greene, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sinema-deals-ultimatum-to-biden-on-reconciliation-bill-report\/\" title=\"Sinema Deals Ultimatum To Biden On Reconciliation Bill: Report\">previously pushed<\/a> for the public release of the videos, told Real America&#8217;s Voice on Friday that she was concerned the footage would expose weaknesses in the complex and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mtg-claims-release-of-jan-6-tapes-could-put-the-security-of-the-capitol-at-risk\/\" title=\"MTG warns that releasing Jan. 6 tapes may endanger Capitol security.\">unjustly endanger protesters<\/a> who were not committing any crimes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, Greene has now changed her stance, claiming that the release of the footage could jeopardize the security of the Capitol. She stated that the over 1,700 video cameras could put the Capitol at risk if the footage was released widely to the public.<\/p>\n<h3>Concerns for Innocent Americans<\/h3>\n<p>Greene also expressed concern for innocent Americans who were simply standing on the Capitol grounds and may have been caught on camera. She worried that left-wing &#8220;sedition hunters&#8221; could use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rep-taylor-greene-dems-police-reform-bill-attacks-law-enforcement\/\" title=\"Rep. Taylor Greene: Dems\u2019 police reform bill attacks law enforcement\">facial recognition software<\/a> on the 44,000 hours of footage to identify these individuals and turn them over to the FBI or Justice Department.<\/p>\n<h3>Backlash from the Left<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that this change in stance comes just a day after Greene announced that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy would give unfettered access to the tapes to three news organizations, including Just the News and American Greatness. McCarthy had previously released the footage to Tucker Carlson, which was met with backlash from the left.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>While Greene&#8217;s concerns for the security of the Capitol and innocent Americans are valid, the decision to withhold the footage from the public raises questions about transparency and accountability. As the investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot continues, it&#8217;s important that all available evidence is made accessible to the public and used to hold those responsible accountable for their actions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>public release of security footage of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot could compromise Capitol security.
