HOT TOPICS: Trump’s $20M Taxpayer Ad Scandal & Vance Faces Racism Row
Who joined Don Lemon this week? A Florida state representative, a former White House communications director and a historian of tyranny, across fifteen uploads.
The newest to take off is a Hot Topics episode built on two stories. The first is the description's account of $20 million in taxpayer money set aside for TV ads featuring the president, which the White House calls public-service announcements. The second is JD Vance telling Florida State Rep. Angie Nixon to "get the hell out." Nixon comes on the show to answer him herself, and the episode is gathering views faster than anything else on the channel.
The week's most watched upload is a Lemon LIVE at 5 with Anthony Scaramucci, who held that White House job for about eleven days in 2017. He came to talk about Trump's TIME interview and his talk of pardons if Democrats take Congress. The comment section went somewhere else: most of it is about a segment in which Renee Good's partner speaks about her death and the family's lawsuit, and many viewers write that Lemon was in tears too.
The rest of the feed ran from Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny, on Trump and Kim Jong Un, to a look at the evidence in the Cornell case, a short titled "Spike Lee confrontation" and a custody story about a Catwoman actress.
All of it nearly doubled the channel's usual daily views, and the week brought about 10,000 new subscribers. Among political commentary channels of a similar size, only DeFranco News Clips and The Damage Report gained more views over the week, while Stephen A. Smith had a quieter stretch.
