Bennie Thompson Stuns and Confuses, Claims January 6th Committee Members Never Had Access to Footage

Rep. Bennie Thompson, who headed up the now-defunct (and discredited) January 6th committee, dropped a stunning and confusing claim on Wednesday evening.
According to him, members of the committee never had access to the footage that is now being released by Tucker Carlson. That footage, much of which has never been seen before, has caused mass consternation in the press and among Democrat politicians because it challenges some of the predominant narratives about January 6th.
Here’s what Thompson had to say, though ascertaining why he’s saying it is a bit harder to do.

Thompson, Liz Cheney, and the rest of the January 6th committee members presented themselves as absolute authorities on what happened at the Capitol Building that day. They claimed to have spent over a year personally investigating the matter, leaving no stone unturned. They then took that self-prescribed sense of authority and used it to spin a politically convenient narrative just before a major election that was immediately pronounced above reproach.
But now Thompson wants to claim he and his cohorts never even viewed the footage themselves?
