Media Confused as to Why Pro-Impeachment Rallies Have Fizzled

NBC News remained as one of the few media outlets in the mainstream media that covered pro-impeachment rallies throughout the country.

NBC News’s update on the pro-impeachment rallies ran with the following headline, “Breaking down the big impeachment rally mystery.” The sub-headline read, “Democrats have flooded the streets by the millions to protest Trump before. So why did the protests calling for his removal stay so modest?”

In other words, NBC News was confused about why pro-impeachment rally attendance figures are significantly lower than the anti-Trump rallies and protests that have taken place since Trump’s 2016 electoral victory.
