The Spin
Democratic narrative
Cassidy Hutchinson's bold testimony, made under security concerns about her well-being, was a bombshell that will long be remembered in American history. Based on her shocking testimony, Trump knew that his supporters were armed, he encouraged them to march on the Capitol, and he wanted to join them in person. The question now is, will Trump be charged with inciting insurrection? All eyes are on the DOJ.
Republican narrative
Democrat members of Congress have privately said to left-leaning journalists: behind closed doors, the Dems confide that "nobody gives a bleep" about Jan 6. in their districts. Democrats are clinging to hopes that these hyped hearings will beat back a Red Wave in November - it's looking like even these hopes are fading.
