Cable news ratings; Fox and MSNBC put Boebert in the hot seat; Jan. 6 organizer has misogynistic meltdown

MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle and Fox News' Sean Hannity both deserve praise for their respective
intervews with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO).
Both hosts grilled Boebert over her refusal to back Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for speaker of the House.
On Thursday, McCarthy lost his eighth bid for speaker, as he has continuously failed to get the required 218 votes thanks to opposition from 20 House Republicans, including Boebert.
Hannity conducted a contentious interview with Boebert on Wednesday's edition of his show, during which he asked, "Isn't it time for you to pack it in and your side to pack it in considering he has over 200 and you have 20?"
The question prompted a tense back and forth, with Boebert confirming she would not withdraw her bid and support McCarthy.
While Rule's interview with the representative was less combative, the MSNBC host asked Boebert why she was not using the same strategy as her GOP colleague Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (GA).
"Take the win, get practical, get yourself on a bunch of committees, and actually do something to set policy?" Ruhle asked pointedly.

MAGA activist Ali Alexander had a misogynistic meltdown during his latest livestream on Telegram, going as far as to call Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) a "whore."
Progressive watchdog organization Right Wing Watch flagged a portion of the livestream on Twitter, which showed Alexander threatening to bring up "legal charges" that would expel Greene from Congress.
Alexander's vitriol toward Greene stems her support for Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) troubled bid for House Speaker.
“I will not suffer this harlot! I will not be taught vows and loyalty, commitment from a whore!” he proclaimed.
Alexander -- also an InfoWars regular and at one point a Kanye West employee -- added, “In the coming days, I’m going to reveal that Marjorie Taylor Greene — in my summation and the summation of lawyers — commited a crime.”
Alexander did not elaborate on the nature of this alleged crime, but accused Greene of having "drunken nights."
He went on to demand the House Ethics Committee expel Greene from Congress, ending his sexist diatribe on a particularly cringeworthy note: "Ho, go home! I am done with you!”
