In a truly pointless report, CNN is going after private text messages exchanged between Meadows and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) as well as Meadows and Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX). For how much CNN loves to tout the over 1,400-word exclusive that took the work of four people for the piece, there's really little to nothing there, though.
One only needs to get to the fourth and to realize as much, if they haven't realized already:
When situated in the overall timeline of events between the election and January 6, the series of texts from Lee and Roy provide new details about how two Trump allies went from fierce advocates of the former President's push to overturn Joe Biden's win to disheartened bystanders. By January 3, Lee was texting Meadows that the effort "could all backfire badly."
The following paragraph is one short sentence. "But shortly after the election, both men were encouraging Trump to keep fighting," it read.
The piece is about Sen. Lee and Rep. Roy, but for Republican members of Congress to be "encouraging Trump to keep fighting" could refer to just about anyone in the days following the election, especially in a presidential election involving many concerns.
And then the next paragraphs read:
In a series of texts to Meadows on November 7, Lee offered his "unequivocal support for you to exhaust every legal and constitutional remedy at your disposal to restore Americans faith in our elections."
Lee went on: "This fight is about the fundamental fairness and integrity of our election system. The nation is depending upon your continued resolve. Stay strong and keep fighting Mr. President."
Oh, the horror.
