Roger Kimball: The Jan. 6 Hearing Is On Same ‘Level’ As ‘Russian Show Trial’

Roger Kimball, the editor of the New Criterion , talks to host Steve Bannon about the disastrous Jan. 6 hearings.

“It’s more at the level of a Soviet show trial. That is to say, the purpose of this entertainment is not to discover the truth; it’s not to assess the facts of what happened on January 6. It is to engage in a kind of propaganda exercise that the people who put this together very carefully over many months hope will convince the American people that Donald Trump should never ever get close to power again… This is an effort to de-legitimize the populist movement… It’s the elite against the people.”
