Luke Russert Cites Kim Kardashian Tweets Multiple Times as Proof of Democratic Sit-In’s Significance (The Washington Free Beacon)

MSNBC congressional reporter Luke Russert considered Kim Kardashian West’s tweets in support of a Democratic sit-in on gun control to be of vital importance to his reporting Thursday, referencing it twice as proof of the significance of the protest.

Russert reported on Republican leaders adjourning the House until July 5 and what the next step would be for Democrats during his report from Capitol Hill just after 3 a.m.

“Do they stay on the floor tomorrow and Friday?” Russert asked. “Do they decide, you know what, we brought all this attention—I mean, Kim Kardashian was tweeting about this. That does not happen a lot.”
