Must See: Politico Reporter Tells Stunned NBC That Dem Voters 'Dont Give A S**t' About January 6 Hearings

Two congressional Democrats admitted that voters don't care about the Jan. 6 committee hearings, according to a reporter who spoke with them.

Politico national correspondent Betsy Woodruff Swan shared what she heard as Capitol Hill prepares for the 2022 midterm elections during a piece Wednesday on the streaming service NBC News NOW. The conversation took place as the Jan. 6 committee is holding a series of summer hearings in which members are working to tie former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results to the Capitol riot.

“Does the Jan. 6 hearing breakthrough at all?" anchor Chuck Todd asked after he noted polling that shows most Republicans think Trump truly believed there was widespread fraud in the 2020 election.

“I don’t think it does. I've talked to two separate Democratic members of Congress in the last couple of weeks about Jan. 6 — obviously, I can’t say who — and both of them have said, offhandedly, nobody gives a bleep about Jan. 6 when they are talking about their districts and the way that elections play out," she said.

The reporter remarked that the Capitol riot is a "very important issue" that is a hint of "the democratic trajectory that this country is on" but also noted that Jan. 6 is not a "top-tier voting issue" for people going into the midterm elections.

"Top-tier issues are material concerns. How are people paying their mortgages? How much does it cost to get milk and bread? How much does it cost to get gas? Do these hearings result in different electoral outcomes for Democrats? I have yet to see any actual evidence that they do," she said.

Members of a production team affiliated with Stephen Colbert's late-night comedy show who were detained last week on Capitol Hill and charged with illegal entry have a court date set for next month.

“The U.S. Capitol Police issued citations for those arrested last week, charging them with unlawful entry into a building. All were released and are to appear on July 20 in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia," the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia told the Washington Examiner on Tuesday.

“On June 16, 2022, at approximately 8:30 p.m., U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) received a call for a disturbance in the Longworth House Office Building," Capitol Police said. “Responding officers observed seven individuals, unescorted and without Congressional ID, in a sixth-floor hallway.”
