These fucker don't realize that the American don't give a shit about their circle jerk. They sure aren't winning over any people who know and understand the unsubstantiated leftwing dribble they are spewing. It's the economy stupid!!
While ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News both reported on the testimony given by Hutchinson but each noted that the Secret Service denies it and both agents are willing to testify under oath.
ABC & NBC Debunk Trump Assaulting Secret Service, CBS Ignores

On Tuesday, it was revealed that former President Trump had allegedly lunged at his Secret Service limo driver and attempted to grab the steering wheel on the morning of January 6, 2021, when he was told he wouldn’t be allowed to go to the Capitol after his speech at the White House Ellipse.
This was made public by former top aide to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Cassidy Hutchinson during Tuesday’s congressional hearing into the January 6 Capitol riots.
Predictably all three evening news broadcasts led with the allegations against former President Trump. Six minutes before the three networks went live, NBC’s chief White House correspondent Peter Alexander tweeted that both Secret Service agents involved “are prepared to testify under oath that neither man was assaulted and that Mr. Trump never lunged for the steering wheel.”
CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell and congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane were quick to hype the now false allegations
“Then-Chief of Staff Mark Meadows' top aide described the then-President's fits of rage, that included throwing plates of food, grabbing the steering wheel of the presidential limo, and lunging at a Secret Service agent. Hutchinson said Trump was furious that Secret Service agents were keeping some of his supporters outside of the White House ellipse because they had weapons,” O’Donnell announced.
MacFarlane gushed that “when the day began, Cassidy Hutchinson was a name and face unknown to most Americans. By the end of the day, she'd made history.”
While ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News both reported on the testimony given by Hutchinson but each noted that the Secret Service denies it and both agents are willing to testify under oath.
On World News Tonight, chief justice correspondent Pierre Thomas reported that “a source close to the Secret Service just told me to expect that the Secret Service will push back against any allegation of an assault against an agent or President Trump reaching for the steering wheel.”
After having broken the news on Twitter, Alexander went on-air to let NBC viewers know that “a source close to the Secret Service tells NBC News that both the lead agent and the limo driver prepared to testify under oath, that neither man was assaulted and that Mr. Trump never lunged for the steering wheel.”
All three networks have spent the entire duration of the Pelosi-picked January 6 hearings hyping every allegation that it spewed. With the fact that none of these hearings allow for any cross-examination of witnesses, a blunder like this was only a matter of time.
