Video taking off 18x its usual first day

Brian Tyler Cohen's backfired Jack Smith 'gotcha' nears a million

The walkout clip is the fourth video in a few days to break out of the channel's routine, and it is moving faster than the Trump video that started the run.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 1,631,804 views a day, 18 times a normal first day on this channel (92,770).

Nine hours after it went up, "Republican STORMS AWAY after “gotcha” on Jack Smith BACKFIRES" was already close to a million views. That puts it on course for roughly seventeen times what a new Brian Tyler Cohen video usually gathers across its whole first day.

The channel has been on a hot streak. First came a Trump video on the eve of the midterms, then Marjorie Taylor Greene's caravan remarks, then an Epstein files poll. This one has outpaced the Trump video that began the run. It arrived while most of the big political commentary channels, MeidasTouch and Tucker Carlson among them, were running below their usual pace.

The title never names the Republican who walked off, and neither will this story. The other name in it is Jack Smith, the former special counsel who brought the two federal cases against Donald Trump. For Cohen, a progressive commentator, an attack on Smith that falls apart is exactly his kind of material. It also got people talking: the video drew thousands of comments within those first nine hours.
