Perhaps you meant to say McCarthy is the one trying to retool history. From the NYT story:

“Officer Injured in Capitol Riot Asks McCarthy to Disavow Lies About It

Officer Michael Fanone, who was seriously injured by the pro-Trump mob, said he came away disappointed from his meeting with the top House Republican.”

I was trying to bring in the most eyes with an ambiguous post.

McCarthy is already a tool … what are the advantages of "re-tooling" him?

I'm disappointed to think Fanone thought he would be anything but disappointed with the meeting.

Maybe, but cops tend to be politically conservative, and maybe this one thought he could talk some sense into another conservative. Actually, while McCarthy's a full on tool, he did promise to broach the topic personally with said knuckleheads - so it wasn't a full-blown denial. More of a brush-off…

It's clear to anyone watching what happened on 1/6 in DC that this was not just a small bit of civil disobedience, and the deniers and apologists need to be called out more forcefully. Following the money on this is probably just too scary for most of the asshats in Congress to fathom.

don't you call my do nothing f-wit congressman an asshat!

as far as it being an insurrection, lets get Muldur and Scully on it.

Even McCarthy called the insurrectionists out at the time. Now he realizes that they were simply tourists.
