One key thing in re McCarthy interview:
There was some question about how much Trump knew Pence was in danger when he attacked him in that 2:24 p.m. tweet.
It turned out Tuberville told Trump of Pence& #39;s evacuation a few minutes AFTER the tweet. Their call began at 2:26.

BUT, McCarthy said Sunday he was first to talk to Trump.
“I was the first person to contact him when the riots were going on. He didn& #39;t see it.”
So that call would’ve taken place sometime before 2:26 and in all likelihood before Trump’s 2:24 p.m. tweet attacking Pence.

So McCarthy urged Trump to do something about the violence. Trump’s first comment was instead to attack Pence. The video came hours later.
He might not have known Pence was in danger specifically, but this suggests Trump would& #39;ve known the situation was bad.
