Isn’t it remarkable that Dems actually thought that “abortions anytime” and “January 6th” were winning midterm messages? Oh, and we can’t forget the precious “democracy” and MEGA MAGA ULTRA MEANIES. But this is what they ran on, at a time when Americans can hardly pay for food, or gas in their car, or pay their rent. Not to mention the soaring crime, open borders, and all the while, Dementia Joe is shoveling our tax dollars over to that greedy warmonger, Zelensky.
So, it is any surprise that a January 6th committee member, a budding Dem “star” just lost her seat to a Republican?
It shouldn’t be but trust me, Dems will be astonished, and they won’t be able to understand why a dustup 2 years ago, wasn’t the biggest issue on American minds.
American Greatness reported that if there is a poster child for the Democrats’ humiliating failure to make the events surrounding January 6, 2021 a winning issue in the midterm elections, it is U.S. Representative Elaine Luria (D-Va.).
The two-term congresswoman is fighting for her political life in a race now categorized as a toss-up; a recent poll showed Luria tied with Republican State Senator Jen Kiggans just a few weeks before an expected red wave election, despite Luria outspending Kiggans by a more than 2-1 margin. (Before the state’s remap process, Luria represented a district that voted for Joe Biden by 5 percentage points and Hillary Clinton by 6 percentage points. Her new district now has a 3-point Democratic advantage.)
It wasn’t supposed to be this way. No doubt anticipating a tough reelection for Luria, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) appointed her to the January 6 select committee—an exercise sold to the American people as a way to investigate what happened that day and prevent future “insurrections.” Primetime televised coverage promised to make Luria a national star, a defender of “democracy,” and a voice of reason in a country purportedly under siege by domestic terrorists—i.e., Trump voters.
“We must leave behind any veil of partisanship at the door because the American people deserve answers on what happened on that day and how we can ensure this does not happen again,” Luria said in July 2021, before the committee’s first public hearing.
But that, of course, didn’t happen. The committee instead descended into the latest iteration of the “Get Trump” crusade; rather than press law enforcement and congressional leadership to explain why they failed to secure the Capitol or identify the alleged “pipe bomber,” or release thousands of hours of surveillance video, the committee, including Luria, fixated on the former president and his inner circle.
The public tuned out—rightly concluding Biden-created crises, such as the wide open border and exploding inflation pose far greater threats to the republic than the dude with the furry horn hat. This confounds the regime’s corporate media lackeys, who have devoted more coverage to the four-hour disturbance than perhaps any other event in American history.
Scott MacFarlane, a CBS News national correspondent assigned exclusively to the January 6 beat, traveled to Luria’s district to find out why her constituents don’t care about it. Claiming Luria had something “unique” to talk about—“what she calls her effort to prevent another attempted insurrection and attack on democracy,” MacFarlane explained—the reporter seemed gobsmacked that voters were more concerned with rising gas and food prices. The January 6 committee, MacFarlane lamented, is not “top of mind.”
This is how clueless and out of touch these liberal elites are. They can’t see any farther down than the end of their own noses.
They honestly think that Americans would be clutching their pearls and fainting because Chuck Schumer’s fax machine was vandalized in a 3-hour melee that was likely orchestrated by Pelosi, and carried out by the Cap police and FBI informants?
Yes, they actually thought this would be a “kitchen table” issue during midterms as if we’d all forgotten about the Dems 3-month-long violent, looting, and arson party called “The Summer of Love.” Not to mention, many Americans are struggling to make ends meet, and can’t afford groceries, in Joe Biden’s cruddy economy.
So, it’s not surprising that this stupid woman lost her job. I hope she thinks about that, while she’s standing in the unemployment line.
