Democrats are running out of ways to distract the American people.
Their failures have become too striking to ignore.
And Nancy Pelosi’s witch hunt just got some truly embarrassing news.
Democrats are relying on “Orange Man Bad” narratives to save them in the 2022 Midterms.
That’s why they have thrown so much into the January 6 Commission’s hearings, even hiring former ABC News president James Goldston to turn the event into a “made for TV” event.
But the televised hearings are not quite bearing the fruit Democrats had hoped.
In fact, NBC ditched the hearings to cover the U.S. Open and relegated January 6 coverage to its streaming app, which is a content graveyard.
The first of eight scheduled hearings pulled in a total of 19 million viewers, which is half the viewership of the most recent State of the Union Address, which had its viewership boosted by the fact that Russia had just invaded Ukraine.
In other words, there is not widespread appeal for the hearings.
In fact, the 19 million number isn’t even particularly impressive when compared to regular network programming.
“ABC News, a former president of which produced Thursday’s show trial, drew 4.8 million viewers.” NBC and CBS each pulled just more than three million. The legacy networks, then, pulled about 11 million viewers combined Thursday night,” the Federalist explained. “According to AdWeek’s latest analysis of weekly television news ratings for the week of May 30, the broadcast networks’ evening programs collectively averaged nearly 18 million viewers, 7 million more than tuned into Thursday night’s Democrat programming.”
Democrats are hoping the “bombshells” the hearings are supposed to expose — the same “bombshells” that were supposed to end Trump’s Presidency umpteen times — will sway voters and distract them from record-high inflation, record-high illegal border crossings, and a quagmire in Ukraine.
But the arguments presented by Democrats have been known for 15 months.
Everybody knows Trump believes he won the 2020 election, and a small group of his supporters breached the Capitol and fought with security.
Democrats are simply going too far when they’re trying to prove Trump specifically sent those people to the Capitol to overthrow the government.
That is an absurd claim that was already shot down by the FBI.
The January 6 Commission is nothing more than a fishing expedition for the radical Left to try to pull up political dirt they can use against conservatives, specifically Donald Trump.
However, polls show that Democrats are still facing the prospect of a massive red wave in November’s Midterms.
People do not particularly care about who said what in emails when the fundamentals of January 6 are already known.
