Angus King's stock-trade question gives TYT Investigates another fast start
Barely a day after a First Amendment clip broke out, a Senate exchange about the president's stock trades is moving at about fourteen times the channel's usual first-day pace.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 78,060 views a day, 14 times a normal first day on this channel (5,380).
Trump Nominee's Dodge STUNS Senator: "That's A Pretty Straightforward Question..."
Another hearing, another jump. A day after a clip of a law professor and a MAGA congressman got off to a strong start, TYT Investigates has a second standout. This time it is a Senate exchange in which Sen. Angus King pressed a Trump nominee about the president's stock trades.
The video is close to fifty thousand views barely a day after it went up. That is about fourteen times what a new upload here usually draws on its first day, and it makes two unusual openings in a row for a channel whose new clips tend to arrive quietly.
King, Maine's independent senator and a former governor of the state, is the one asking the questions. The title quotes the line "That's A Pretty Straightforward Question..." and bills the nominee's answer as a dodge that stunned him. Neither the title nor the description names the nominee or the job in question. The clip is typical of the channel, which is part of The Young Turks' progressive network and cuts White House briefings and committee hearings into short moments.
