Last night, as we noted here at Twitchy and Katie Pavlich reported at Townhall, President Biden delivered one final desperate plea for voters to “save democracy” on Tuesday. Obviously, by “saving democracy” Biden is talking about saving Democrats, but it doesn’t look like that’s the mood of the voters heading into the midterms.
President Joe Biden made his way to crime ridden Union Station in Washington D.C. Wednesday night. It was a previously unscheduled trip put on the Democratic National Committee and a last ditch effort to convince voters Trump Republicans and democracy are “on the ballot” next Tuesday.
During his remarks, which were made without glaring communist red lights and U.S. Marines standing the background, Biden made a number of references to January 6 and the nudist attack on Paul Pelosi. He then oddly attempted to portray himself and Democrats as unifiers interested in getting along with their political opponents.
Meanwhile, as Biden and the Dems keep sounding the alarm about January 6th and climate change, the issues that voters are concerned about are much different:
After the economy and inflation, crime is the issue ranked next most important by likely voters.
Republicans hold a double-digit lead over Democrats on whose policies would make you safer from crime. https://t.co/Bv59KZuIQU pic.twitter.com/ZzOrZgCX5s

Instead of focusing on what is of concern to most Americans heading into the midterms, you won’t be surprised to know what the network news morning shows were focused on, via Newsbusters’ Curtis Houck:
ABC, CBS, and NBC all led with and touted as fact Joe Biden's false claims that "democracy is on the ballot" if Americans vote Republican because GOPers are dangerous and violent.
Not the economy. Not students struggling in school.
They care about 2020 and protecting Biden.

Naturally, the networks just parroted what Biden said rather than doing any fact-checks.
So it shouldn’t be any surprise on Tuesday when they get wiped out
