The summer edition of the January 6th committee hearings ended with a whimper as the political clown show wrapped up until the fall with a Thursday night primetime dud, failing to capture the attention of Americans despite eight public performances along with massive media hype and some are left scratching their heads about why more people aren’t paying attention.
One of those is former Illinois congressman and tea party darling Joe Walsh who came out as one of President Donald J. Trump’s harshest GOP critics, denouncing his own party as a “cult” after his miserably failed 2020 White House run.
Walsh took to Twitter to lament the fact that the Nancy Pelosi-Liz Cheney spectacle hasn’t caught fire in the way that the establishment punditry had anticipated it would.
“Twitter world’s enthusiasm for these Jan 6th hearings must always be tempered by this: I engage with hundreds of GOP voters every day. Like @KurtSchlichter here, they don’t care. They’re not watching, and they really don’t care. I hear it every day,” bemoaning a tweet by conservative columnist Kurt Schlichter that he doesn’t care.

Twitter user Dr. Strangetweet took the time to explain the apathy toward Pelosi’s political circus to the morose Walsh.
“To understand why many of us don’t care, we have to climb into the wayback machine, to the year 2016 when a FISA warrant was issued based on lies to the court,” the lesson began. “And no one was held accountable.”

We have to look at the Steele Dossier, also from 2016, that led to congressional hearings and constant promises of “evidence”, only to be found to be, once again, built on lies.
And no one was held accountable.

We had years of hearings that were promised to be bombshell, but the only thing we learned is that the media, Democrats, and anti-Trump Republicans will set aside the need for actual evidence and believe whatever simply because Trump.

Did you ever call for prosecution of the liars in the FISA warrant case? No?
Then sit down. And make space for Kinzinger and Cheney too, because they can take all the seats.
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
We saw in real time the media lie, then have to correct, stupid stories, like “Trump fed fish wrong.”
Why would you lie about something soooo stupid?
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
We watched as he was criticized for calling MS13 members “animals” because “they’re humans deserving of respect”, even though pretty much everyone had called them “animals” before then.
Oh, and then those people who got mad at “animals” spent years calling people “Nazis”…
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
We watched as Trump called out the “coyotes” smuggling people in, and everyone laughed and pretended like no one had ever called them “coyotes” before.
And no apology was ever issued to him for lying about it.
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
We watched as the Left and anti-Trump people cheered when government officials and workers declared they would resist Trump’s orders, that he wasn’t their president.
There were cheers when a general admitted he disobeyed a direct order to move troops.
And no one was punished.
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
We watched as the media and Democrats declared over and over again that the 2016 election was stolen, that Trump was an illegitimate president.
And then (jumping forward to 2020) we saw that questioning the election meant you were a Russian and traitor and “how dare you”.
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
We watched as, time and again, the media would “make a mistake” a few days after some explosive story, but those mistakes only went one direction.
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
We watched as Kavanaugh was put through the ringer with such a lack of evidence that it wouldn’t have ever made it to court.
“But it’s not court, it’s a hearing!” was the excuse used as to why lies were acceptable.
But coming from the party of Harry Reid, it was expected.
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
We watched as Democrats encouraged protestors to get in Republicans’ faces, enflamed the violence, and were never held accountable for their fomenting the 2020 riots.
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
We watched as the 2020 riots were declared to be “mostly peaceful” even as buildings burned in the background.
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
We watched as David Dorn was killed, and the Democrats didn’t call for peace.
We watched as a Trump supporter was shot dead, and Democrats didn’t call for peace.
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
We watched as federal buildings were targeted, and it wasn’t called an insurrection.
We watched as 50 secret service agents were injured outside the White House as Dems mocked Trump for taking shelter, and it wasn’t called an insurrection.
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
We watched as part of an American city was taken over as an autonomous zone and no one on the Left or any anti-Trump Republicans said “enough.”
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
We watched as mayors and governors told Trump to not send in federal troops to protect their citizens even as those mayors and governors didn’t protect their citizens.
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
We watched as a kidnapping plot unfolded, only to be revealed as an FBI setup that no one was held accountable for.
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
We watched as Democrat mayors and governors and elected representatives went about their business during COVID while the citizens suffered.
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
I can go on and on and on.
There are hundreds of things that you and your anti-Trump Republicans could have said and done to bring peace and calm and retain the norms.
But you didn’t.
You sold out everything because of Trump.
But now, we’re the bad guys? No.
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
January 6 didn’t happen in a vacuum. The groundwork was laid by every lie, by every norm ignored in order to “take down Trump.”
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
You had so many opportunities up to this point to do the right thing, to stand up for the right thing, even if it meant defending Trump by proxy.
But you didn’t. The desire to destroy Trump was greater than your desire for truth and your love for America.
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
So no, many of us do not care.
And why should we?
The assault on democracy wasn’t J6. It was every lie, every “resist”, every back page retraction.
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
So when you or Kinzinger or Cheney or Kristol or French talk about J6 and the horrors, you should understand:
You all built this. This is the culmination of your life’s work from 2016-2022.
Congratulations. Take a bow.
— Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT (@lone_rides) July 22, 2022
So in a nutshell, that about sums it up, at least according to Dr. Strangetweet.
