Arizona GOP Rep. Eli Crane, the lone freshman lawmaker who opposed Kevin McCarthy as Speaker, gave the Speaker an “attaboy and props for releasing the January 6 tapes to [Tucker] Carlson.” Crane remarks, that this is a “massive, massive move” in transparency for the American people and comes at a time when trust and confidence in the government has “really been diminished in this country.” Though the lawmaker maintains that he has seen “some backsliding and just a return in ways towards business as usual,” he vows to “continue to monitor that and work on," delivering on the promises that Americans sent them to Washington to deliver on.
