Jan. 6, Committee tried to do everything they could in order to force things against the wall at their hearings. They hoped that something would stick.
The problem is that they have nothing, so they’re down to claiming things like Donald Trump had a heated discussion with Secret Service agents or putting on witnesses with hearsay testimony to talk about that heated discussion. None of the evidence they’ve shown is enough to accuse Trump.
The larger problem, though, is that most people are not watching the Committee’s struggling efforts. As we’ve reported, the ratings for the first prime time session earlier in June were less than the regular news programs would have gotten — it was a trainwreck.
Context: The evening newscasts on CBS, NBC & ABC average anywhere from 18 to 20 million viewers combined on a typical night. These newscasts are not broadcast in primetime. Only 11+ million people watched the January 6 hearings on these same networks’ primetime Thursday. https://t.co/KcdsM5sx3Z

Moreover, the polls have shown that most Americans are far more concerned about things like inflation; they’re just not showing interest. Moreover, the polls also show that Americans believe the proceedings are biased and that Democrats should be concentrating on other things–like the economy. Americans understand this and know exactly what Democrats are up to here.
Have the ratings gotten any better for the Democrats’ Stalinist show trial, after Cassidy Hutchinson, cliffhangers, and headhunting attempts on Donald Trump? In short: No.
According to Deadline, the latest primetime hearing on Thursday drew an estimated 17.7 million viewers, an 11 percent dropoff from the 20 million who watched the committee’s last evening event. Also, this is even lower than June’s first night trainwreck.
Now, I don’t know what they think they can pull out of a hat to make things any better for them. It’s just not working. I’m convinced it’s also not helping their overall numbers in polling. The Democrats continue to lag Republicans in prospects for the midterms, and it looks like they’re about to get wiped out by a huge red wave. It was their idea that the red wave would cause antagonism among the people against Republicans. Instead, it just makes Americans mad at Democrats that they’re spending all this time and money trying to get Donald Trump for the umpteenth time. Funny how Americans think that the Democratic “public servants” should be doing their jobs, rather than spending the American taxpayers’ money trying to take out their possible political opponent in 2024.
If we were just looking at ratings, this show trial isn’t going to get renewed for the next season.
