Parscale said in texts that a sitting president asked for civil war.

The latest public hearing by the select committee focused on the involvement of domestic violent extremists in the January 6 insurrection.

Parscale said he felt guilty for helping him win.

You did what you thought was right at the time, and that's what I think.

Parscale said yes. But a woman is no longer alive. I would know my rhetoric killed someone.

He asked if it was the rhetoric that was the problem.

Parscale shot back, saying, "Katrina." It was, yes.

CNBC asked Parscale and Pierson if they had anything to say about the texts.

Parscale appeared to be referring to Ashli Babbitt, the pro- Trump rioter who was shot and killed by a U.S. Capitol police officer. The officer who shot Babbitt was not found to have done anything wrong.

Parscale worked on both campaigns. He stepped back from the campaign in October of 2020 after he was hospitalized in the summer of 2020 because of Trump's lagging poll numbers.
