Political Editor Chris Stirewalt to Testify Monday Morning And May Expose Fox Coordination with Trump To Push Big Lie


One of the Committee’s smartest moves has been prioritizing secrecy regarding who it will call as public witnesses and when. Surely, the Committee knows it is up against an entire GOP propaganda program designed to dull and degrade the impact of dramatic testimony. It was only late Friday night that Chris Stirewalt, the former Fox political editor, said that he would testify during the House January 6 committee’s next public hearing on Monday.

Stirewalt said during a NewsNation interview, “I am not in a position now to tell you what my testimony will be about.”

Fox News let Stirewalk go in January 2021 as part of what it called at the time “restructuring,” but Stirewalt has always maintained that it was because he was very critical of the network’s coverage of the election generally, and specifically that the network broadcasted lies in exchange for ratings. Fox broadcasted what its audience wanted to hear which also happened to be what the Trump administration wanted Fox viewers to hear.

The Committee has said that it will address how Trump spread his lies about the “rigged election” through the media, many believe that some critical and explosive testimony will come from Stirewalt, who is flying just below the radar.

Stirewalt may have a lot to unload as he has previously written in the LA Times (Via Deadline) that:

“Having been cosseted by self-validating coverage for so long, many Americans now consider any news that might suggest that they are in error or that their side has been defeated as an attack on them personally. The lie that Trump won the 2020 election wasn’t nearly as much aimed at the opposing party as it was at the news outlets that stated the obvious, incontrovertible fact.”

It is easy to sense the truth in the above statement. Trump behaved as though the loss invalidated his entire person and his followers adopted the same attitude. When media outlets reported that Trump lost the election, the MAGA movement took on the character of their leader. It was an attack intended to invalidate them as Americans and their place in this country. In response, Trump’s most aggressive followers, those involved on January 6th, called themselves “patriots.” One promoted the day as 1776. They fought back to claim their right to be American.

2. So far the J6 Committee is overperforming on content and strategy by a landslide

And that's a terrible article. They were calling themselves patriots years and years before Jan 6, 2021.
