Friend,  

We all saw what happened on Wednesday night. CNN made a truly terrible unforced error and gave the most despicable man alive a 90-minute platform to air whatever passed through his hollow skull.

Were you outraged, Friend? I was. I was absolutely pissed. That’s why I responded with a video that called out CNN for craven ratings grab.

When I woke up the next morning, I received my usual batch of replies, death threats, and semi-literate ranting from MAGA chuds and had a good chuckle. Who knew they were watching so carefully from their parents’ basements?

But I was also pleasantly surprised to see that my video received nearly as many views as the Town Hall itself. A video that took me exactly one minute to make got nearly as many views as Trump and CNN’s little buddy buddy act. You can watch my video in full here >>

Here’s my takeaway. The media is making the same exact mistakes they did in 2016 and 2020. They’re going to legitimize Trump’s campaign to tear Americans apart to an audience of millions and eagerly trade ratings for the possible downfall of the Republic.

But here’s the important part: We can match their reach. 

We’ve got millions of people as part of our pro-democracy network that are ready to fight Trump tooth and nail. They’re not buying the legitimization of Trump and they’re ready to call out the authoritarian fraudster for exactly who he is.

That’s why my response video matched CNN. It’s because the pro-democracy army is ready and activated. Now, I’d appreciate it if you could watch and share this video with everyone you know. Remember, we’ve got the winning message. It's just about making sure as many people as possible hear it.
