Rebel HQ's David Shuster puts two responses to the Republican midterm losses side by side: Donald Trump blaming voting machines and Newt Gingrich urging his party to acknowledge what went wrong.
"We got beaten badly," Gingrich says in the Fox News footage. The former House speaker argues that Republicans need to recognize when something has not worked and learn from voters. Shuster uses that exchange to move beyond the result itself to how Trump and his allies are explaining it.
The commentary, titled "Trump Gets RIDICULED In Person And On Fox News", passed 300,000 views in seven hours, an unusually fast start for Rebel HQ. It opens with Sky News reporter Dominic Waghorn confronting Trump on the White House South Lawn, before turning to criticism coming from Fox's own hosts and guests.
Trey Gowdy focuses on JD Vance's handling and explanation of the Iran war. His distinction is pointed: "Being unpopular and being wrong are two very different things." Shuster then examines Trump's voting-machine post and critical responses from Megyn Kelly and Alyssa Farah Griffin.
The closing section turns to the push to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with congressional clips explaining the process. That subject is also drawing an unusually fast audience to a separate Shuster upload about Thomas Massie's effort to bring an impeachment vote, making the consequences of the Iran war a recurring thread in Rebel HQ's post-election coverage.
