Alex Wagner: News Gods Watched Vance’s ‘Appalling Answer’ to Jan. 6th Question and Decided to Highlight the Issue with Jack Smith’s Case

EXCERPT:

WAGNER: "That was the Harris campaign's first ad after last night’s debate, highlighting J.D. Vance's absurd claim that Donald Trump peacefully transferred power after the 2020 election and Vance's refusal to admit that Trump lost. Now, if you watched the debate last night, you would have seen Senator Vance trying to put a gloss of respectability on the Trump presidential campaign, as Trump himself appears increasingly unhinged, but that strategy to normalize the very weird and very extreme Trump-Vance platform, that strategy sort of fell apart when Vance was asked about his running mate's failed attempt to cling to power after the 2020 election. Now, admittedly, it is hard to defend Donald Trump’s actions in the 2020 post-election period, there was a lot of really bad data points there. And today, it sort of feels like the news gods watched last night’s debate and saw J.D. Vance's appalling answer and decided to highlight the whole issue, because today, a federal judge in Washington D.C. unsealed a partially redacted 165-page filing from Special Counsel Jack Smith in which Smith lays out why he believes that the case is very much still prosecutable following the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling.”
