Not surprisingly, the prime-time Jan. 6 hearing generated a lot of interest from all sides of the political spectrum, but as Democrats elevated the event to something akin to the moon landing — excitedly tweeting photos of themselves at organized watch parties or snuggled in with a bowl of popcorn — Fox News host Tammy Bruce was expressing her disgust with the heavily-produced, and for Bruce, decidedly “grotesque” spectacle.
As reported, Dems spent the days leading up to Thursday’s House Committee on Jan. 6 hearing promoting it like it was the premiere of a new Marvel movie.

On opening night, liberal viewers dutifully responded with organized watch parties featuring a distinct tailgate vibe.
“Why are people treating this like it’s the Moon Landing?” asked one Twitter user in a response to a photo tweeted by a New York Times correspondent, of one such watch party, during which RINO Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) apparently received a round of applause.

According to WUSA9, there were several of these gatherings all around D.C.
Meanwhile, “Blue Check” celebrities on Twitter, like Mark Hamill, were popping popcorn to go with their propaganda.
“I am SO ready for accountability for the violent insurrection against our government & the coup incited by Drumpf & his minions,” the one-time “Star Wars” hero tweeted enthusiastically. “Will YOU be watching the @January6Cmte?”

Actor Mandy Patinkin, known to a generation of young people as the guy in that “I don’t think it means what you think it means” gif, shared a video of him and his wife, actress Kathryn Grody, urging people to watch the hearings because “the entire nation” was “riveted” by the Watergate hearings.
Quoting former Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Christopher Krebs, Patinkin tweeted, “An insurrection without consequences is simply practice.”

In his unfettered excitement, Robert Costa tweeted a shot of the hearing room door, as though he might at any moment press a glass to it.

This was the energy projected by many libs who seemed more interested in having their beliefs about Jan. 6 confirmed than they were with any sort of objective analysis of facts.
Fox News anchor Tammy Bruce was not amused.
In a three-part Twitter thread, she suggested that Congress’s priorities were far from on point.
“Politico: WH saw baby food crisis as ‘not a top level’ issue; CBS: Gas prices hit historic high; WaPo: Summer blackouts due to Biden’s war on coal, wheezing power grid leaves states at risk; FBN: Inflation hits poorest most, will stick around for ‘many months,'” she tweeted.
“What is Congress doing as everything collapses?” she continued. “They’re holding a ‘show’ run by a TV producer targeting a political opponent, a man who got things done and improved everything in this country.”
“Why persecute him & us?” she asked. “Because they’re envious & embarrassed by their own failures.”
“Tonight’s little display has nothing to do with Jan 6 and everything to do with demonizing Trump and his supporters, over 70 million Americans, incl parents and families who are concerned about their children & the future,” Bruce concluded.
“Tonight is a shameful display by grotesque people.”

Cheney purposely tookTrump’s remarks out of context to blame him for the capital breach. An important sentence left out and i quote “Go home in Peace.”
A party?? Democrats love republicans who are turncoats! BTW, did we taxpayers have to pay for that party?? They go all out don’t they, for backstabbers, who help them in their mendacity? I want to see what Pelousy has been rumored to be hiding.
Unless there is a lot of cheating, like before, I think Lizzie has killed her chances of another election unless Zuckerberg buys up a lot of drop boxes and pays the ones to stuff and empty them, even with Daddy’s name and running in a state where she doesn’t live.. IMO, Zuck belongs in jail for election interference too.
Ah, yes, the Shiff(t) Show. You remember, the same guy who went on cable at least twice a week for the four years Trump was POTUS, and lied to America’s face regarding the “evidence” he had that supported Russia collusion?
He lied then. He’s lying now. Lying is what defines dims. Bunch of filthy, deviant pigs.
Can’t wait for the next civil war to start!
I guess some Americans have adopted political kibuki theater like the WWF as quasi Sumo wrestling. The sheeple are strong in the hearings.
All of the lib watch parties would have been a fantastic opportunity to roll in a frag grenade and end the world of their unique brand of deviant filth. FJB! Lets Go Brandon!!!!
The only thing I got out of this story is that Manny Patainkin needs a better set of glasses.
Do ya think that bozo and mandy patinkin will watch 2000 Mules?
Hollywood and acting (making something that is not) has been a part of the Democratic party for a long time. At least since Carter. And I’m ashamed to say I voted for him. Even after my Mother In Law warned me not to. She lived in Georgia when he was Governor.
This is starting to like like “Hunger Games”. These disgusting leftist liberals are displaying their ignorance in playing along with this disgusting charade.
After the midterms, clean house, make all accountable, bring charges. Punish according to the crime (and ther are many). Show no mercy on these traitors to America.
When Hollywood entertainment producers partner with Democrats to produce and dramatize Congressional hearings, it is called PROPAGANDA! Do not drink the saccharine-sweetened powdered fruit drink. It is all poisonous to us.
I hope all these libtards watch the Obiden impeachment as enthusiastically.
So, they had to resort to B list celebs to try and coax people into watching this Sh%% Show! How sad and pathetic these people are. How about you stop wasting taxpayer money on this crap and start trying to fix all the problems the Biden amin has created. It amazes me to still see people who are more interested in watching Trump fall a year and half after he’s been out of office as opposed to acknowledging just how awful the current president has been and demanding that something be done to fix the mess he has created. That should tell you where their priorities are and, its’ clearly not with making our country the best it can be for ALL of the people in it.
but yet you can go after and threaten to kill judges fjb
