The interview on a local radio station in California only days after the attack has resurfaced right after McCarthy announced he would not cooperate with the now continuous January 6 investigation panel.
On Thursday, McCarthy was asked by CNN reporter Manu Raju about how he had said he was "willing to testify," about January 6 but now did not support the select committee hearing.
The House Minority Leader interrupted, stating, "That's not true. Ask your question. I'll verify what's true there."

CNN has since unearthed two audio clips in which McCarthy called for the investigation and condemned Trump for the attack.
"I say [Trump] has responsibility," McCarthy told an interviewer on Bakersfield, California, radio station KERN on January 12, 2021. "He told me personally that he does have some responsibility. I think a lot of people do."

"The one thing about impeachment, why would you run it through so fast? I say let's put a bipartisan commission, let's learn all the facts," he went on.

"Let me be clear to you and I have been very clear to the president," he continued. He bears responsibility for his words and actions. "No if, ands or buts."
