Fox News' Bret Baier Hits Out At Republicans Dismissing Capitol Riot Inquiry

"You cannot watch this testimony and say that it’s not a big deal," the Fox News anchor said.

Fox News anchor Bret Baier on Tuesday criticized Republicans who have downplayed the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol or have sought to discredit the congressional inquiry into what happened. “While Republicans politically are saying that this is a partisan effort and that they charge that it’s not going to get to the questions that they think are important about Jan. 6 — ‘Why were the Capitol Police so ill-prepared for what happened that day?’ ― you cannot watch this testimony and say that it’s not a big deal,” he said during the conservative network’s coverage of the House select committee’s first hearing on its investigation.  “And you cannot watch this testimony and say that there are questions that are going to take us places that I don’t think we know where we’re going to go yet.”
