James Comey’s testimony was ratings gold, even at 10 in the morning. On a workday. https://t.co/Kp7h2RfFFJ

19.5 million Americans watched Comey’s testimony, about the same number who watched Game 2 of the NBA finals. https://t.co/F5ciDi6n9b

Wow, a lot of viewers saw Comey call the NY Times’ Trump/Russia collusion story bogus! Nevertheless, The Resistance is encouraged by those numbers:

Yet Conservative and Republican talking heads keep telling us that we don't care about Trump's corruption. #elephantpoop https://t.co/q6RyXKvp4X

Wonderful! Citizen involvement was in decline before Trump was elected. Now it's roaring back!

The MSM might not highlight that part as much as they did the overall ratings.
