The Job Creators Network is airing a commercial that characterizes what they believe to be Democrats obsessing over January 6th Capitol Riots rather than focusing on critical issues in the upcoming election. They think that Democrats are overlooking dire election topics like record-high gas prices, inflation, and baby formula shortages.
What’s happening?
The Job Creators Network’s commercial shows an empty room where the Democrats were supposed to be discussing these important topics. The premise pokes fun at the fact that the House select committee recently held its first hearing to investigate the capitol riots in early January. They believe this primetime hearing was meticulously picked to sway things in the Democrats’ favor as we approach the midterm elections.
Will they change how the people vote?
Alfredo Ortiz, president, and CEO of the Job Creators Network released this statement:
“Democrats are using smoke and mirrors tactics to distract from the imploding economy they’re presiding over and responsible for. Their carefully managed January 6 show trial is a distraction from the major issues impacting ordinary Americans and small businesses. Record-high gas prices, skyrocketing inflation, and supply-chain turmoil, including pervasive baby formula shortages, are reducing Americans’ living standards and causing tremendous stress. If Congressional Democrats cared about these pressing issues they’d hold emergency hearings on them, but they only care about maintaining their grasp on power, and they’re desperately hoping January 6 can make that happen. This nakedly political calculation proves once again that Democrats don’t have Americans’ best interests in mind.”
Do you believe that the Democrats are trying to use this hearing to sway the mid-term elections? If so, do you think it will work? Using this amount of publicity for an event that happened so long ago will impact at least a portion of the population. But will it have a long-term effect on the vote?
