Reporter says Democrats in Congress told her 'nobody gives a bleep about Jan. 6'

Politico national correspondent Betsy Woodruff Swan shared what she heard as Capitol Hill gears up for the 2022 midterm elections during a segment Wednesday on the streaming service NBC News NOW. The exchange took place as the Jan. 6 committee is in the midst of holding a slate 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 break through 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 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.

And that's a sad state of the country. We had people actively pursue overturning the Presidential election and somehow people in our country believe it won't happen again if we don't pay attention.

We deserve what we'll get, I guess

Honestly that was to be expected. IF you read the quote its about people in their districts and trying to get elected. They don't feel the average Joe gives a shit about J6 when they have 6$ gas, inflation and whatever applies to their specific district. If Trump goes to jail, my life doesn't change. If Trump walks, my life doesn't change. If California would stop fucking around and get us high speed rail the entire game changes.

A poll found that 74.5 percent of likely independent midterm voters said the hearings on the January 6 riot at the Capitol will not influence their vote.

“A majority of voters–even one-third of Democrats–don’t care about the January 6th proceedings in Congress,” said Mark Meckler, president of Convention of States Action, which conducted the poll with the Trafalgar Group. “While Washington, DC, elites obsess about scoring political points, Americans face real issues like inflation, rising crime, and shortages of basic staples like baby formula and feminine products."
