'Most Popular President In History' Finishes 'Dead Last' in Total Viewers With CNN Town Hall

CNN's 90-minute town hall with the president, hosted by Don Lemon, was a ratings dud on Wednesday night. According to Nielsen data, the forum came in dead last among the major cable news networks in the total viewers category, logging 1.55 million overall. That number was soundly beaten by Fox News -- which scored 2.77 million total during the timeslot which covered Tucker Carlson Tonight and the first half of Hannity. MSNBC's All In with Chris Hayes and first half hour of The Rachel Maddow Show edged out CNN as well, posting 1.67 million in the overall category.

BIDEN: "You're not gonna get COVID if you have these vaccinations."

FAUCI: "Infections after vaccination are expected."

Both of them can't be right. Who is getting "flagged" for "misinformation?" pic.twitter.com/LypqsQ14AT

There it is. Biden outright says he wants to ban handguns.

He also says crime is down, which is an utterly insane lie.
