republicans increasingly, republicans in elections, have continued to peddle misleading claims about election fraud. there s a reason he can peddle misleading claims. that s because his supporters believe him. and his supporters aren t tuning into every minute of the january 6th th investigation and their public hearings. and i think that you cannot discount the fact that he s still speaking for such a large part of the republican base right now that it works for him because there are people who still trust him above anyone else. and it works for him because he is still enabled by people in elected office who either fear him or see some gain in sticking with him which is why it was interesting yesterday to hear a deeply respected minded conservative legal circles. the former federal judge, michael luttig saying yes, what happened in the rear-view mirror after the 20 20 election on january 6th was reprehensible, but the bigger problem is it continues today.
rest of this morning. christina, let me share to the question that i was framing this conversation around. that is january the 6th, and this hearing taken place. do you think that this is something that could resonate with some independent voters? do you still think that people as they go into the polls, this november, will still be thinking about what transpired two years ago in the attempt to overthrow our democracy? who is responsible for that? but i wonder when i think about those question is, if it will influence anyone? are people out there with undecided opinions on what happened on january 6th? the people that i ve talked to, both in my reporting, but also just in life, really feel pretty hardened by this. particularly, the people aren t tuning in to watch for democrats would be extremely persuasive arguments using dramatic footage and, showing some never before seen imagery of that awful day. is that going to change any minds?
