Did you see conservative Trump mouthpiece Newsmax get spanked on live national television by a Democrat?
Entertainment
Former Barack Obama speechwriter David Litt was invited on the conservative channel to supposedly discuss the recent appearance of Tesla founder Elon Mask as host of Saturday Night Live. However, instead of discussing SNL, Litt used his time to poke fun at the “news” show for spreading the false Trump election lie.
“Did Dominion voting machines have any impact on the 2020 election?” Litt asked the surprised conservative host who was clearly caught off guard. “Are you still telling that lie or are you telling new lies,” he continued.
The move was brilliant. Because Newsmax was successfully sued by Dominion for claiming their voting machines cheated Trump out of a victory, the network was forced to publicly apologize and agree to never spread the falsehood again in order to avoid a hefty fine.
So, the channel was caught between a rock and a hard place on live television. They could either lie once again and break the lawsuit agreement (which would cost them billions), or they could admit that Litt was right and they were lying about the Trump election claims.
Interestingly, the network chose neither option. Instead, they pulled the plug on the interview and went to an immediate commercial break — choosing to save face rather than admit defeat.
