"Hey MAGAts, please change the channel! Immediately! Do not watch this!"
It was obvious that "this is boring" was a talking point the GOP all agreed on today. They all tweeted it around the same time... Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr, Stephanie Grisham, Ronna McDaniel, Rush Limbaugh, etc.
That was them telling Trump's base to tune it out, don't watch, "you'll be bored".
They desperately do not want their base watching these hearings.

But the people they were talking to never tune in anyway. So no loss.
they are allergic to facts, truth and education. Dictatorships count on people to be ignorant they are easier to manipulate. We can see that first hand.

Just like they wanted to tell their base what to think about the Mueller report and not have them actually read it for themselves.
