Heather Cox Richardson: “A legal filing today in the case of Dominion Voting Systems against the Fox News Corporation provides a window into the role of disinformation and money in the movement to deny that President Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election.

“Dominion Voting Systems is suing FNC for defamation after FNC personalities repeatedly claimed that the company’s voting machines had corrupted the final tallies in the 2020 election. The filing today shows that those same personalities didn’t believe what they were telling their viewers, and suggests that they made those groundless accusations because they worried their viewers were abandoning them to go to channels that told them what they wanted to hear: that Trump had won the election….

“The filing says that not a single witness from FNC testified they believed any of the allegations they were making about Dominion”

Clueless Coulter Bashes Haley

“This is my country, lady. I’m not an American Indian, and I don’t like them taking down all the monuments.”

— Conservative pundit Ann Coulter said Nikki Haley — who was born in South Carolina — should “go back to your own country” after the former South Carolina governor announced her 2024 presidential candidacy. Coulter took issue with Haley removing the Confederate flag from the state capitol in 2015 after a White supremacist shot and killed nine people at a historically Black church in Charleston.

Poll: Trump Leads DeSantis Nationally


According to Political Wire, a Quinnipiac poll finds that when GOP voters are given a list of 14 names of Republicans who either have said they are running for president in 2024 or are seen as potential candidates in a Republican primary, Donald Trump receives 42% of the vote followed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis who receives 36%.

Nikki Haley receives 5%, Mike Pence receives 4% and Mike Pompeo receives 4%. No other candidate garners more than 2% of the vote.

When the potential field is narrowed to only four candidates, however, voters are split between Trump at 43% and DeSantis at 41% — a virtual dead heat. Haley receives 6% and Pence receives 4% in this hypothetical 4-way Republican primary.

There’s Lots of Support for Biden’s War on ‘Junk Fees’

75%

Politico/Morning Consult poll: “The majority of U.S. adults (75%) support both of Biden’s proposals to reduce service fees for tickets purchased online for entertainment events and to eliminate fees charged by cell phone, cable TV and internet providers when consumers cancel their service. … Democrats (80%) are most likely to support both proposals, though clear majorities of independents (70%) and Republicans (72%) do as well.”
