Calls Out Republicans Downplaying Riot: ‘You Cannot Watch This Testimony and Say That Is Not a Big Deal’

Moments later, Baier gave his take on the hearing, which he said he “watched every minute” of.

“If you were watching you saw compelling, at times damning, emotional testimony from these four officers who fought the line to try to protect the Capitol and the lawmakers inside,” he said. “For anybody watching who looked at that and looked at the videos and their testimony about that day and thought it was not violent I think that was an eye-opener.”

“We obviously talked about January 6 a lot in the time since then but putting it all together and seeing it again is jarring,” he continued. “And to listen to these officers say how they really fought to hold onto their lives.”

the way he worded tells me they haven't watched any of the damning videos of what happened in the Capitol since the day it happened.

1. Each fox break against traitortrump's 'big lie', is worth something.

2. Fox News - middle of a Tuesday afternoon- "Here go say this"

See Brett wants to be a serious news guy. The evening shows will have “questions” I’m sure.

4. Won't take long for the RW talking point spin to be determined and distributed out far and wide

5. Plausible deniability

They can say something once on a Tuesday afternoon when the Fox viewership is at its lowest, just to cover themselves.

The stuff that airs in the evening will have a different tone and will be repeated a thousand times.

3. "Dem-Led"...

...Faux once again sets the tone.

They are a threat to the planet.

Radical fascists every one...

6. Right now Fox is covering at length the attempt by convicted Hispanic

murderer of beautiful white Mollie Tibbets to get a new trial. Which was denied. Big news.

That's followed by another of their big old stories: "Biden not following up on promise of unity."

7. The new conspiracy theory over at QANON...

Bret Baier had an auto accident two years ago (clearly "arranged&quot and that was a warning to him to "get tough" on Trump.

10. "for anybody watching" is the key qualifier here. McCarthy didn't watch. Mitch didn't watch.

I doubt many Trumpanistas watched. They will wait to hear what Tucker, Hannity, and other RW haters tell them.

11. And this is just Day ONE. McCarthy and his incompetence have no influence over the narrative.
