18.8 million. I’d say that is more than I thought would tune in. I’d be curious to see a breakdown of D, R and I views. My wife (no pic) and I watched. We are both independents. I didn’t learn anything new that i didn’t already know from the documentary and previous news reports.
Now we shift to 10am hearings and I’ll bet viewership drops below 5M. I would have preferred to have seen quite a bit more of the damning and more links that directly implicate Trump. Maybe something those of us paying attention didn’t already know.
What I got out of Thursday evening was that the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers were the instigators. I haven’t seen much direct evidence, yet, that an insurrection was actually planned out. It appears to me that these idiots came to DC, claiming to be summoned by Trump. But no more so than Schiff summoning Nicholas Roske. It was only once they were there that they decided to breach the Capitol. Do I blame Trump. Yep. But I want evidence and enough to keep him from ever being on a U.S. ballot ever again.
Im hoping there is more than what we saw Thursday. However with 18.8M viewers, Thursday was the night to lay out as much as possible to the American public.
