Yup. And people will notice, but it won't matter because it'll be years before the next election - plenty of time for them to forget.

The media and their political masters are completely cynical like that. Absolute scoundrels. And they don't give a fuck because they don't have to. They can do whatever they want and people will still support them. Even if it were revealed tomorrow that the Democrats launched a biological attack on America and the world murdering 200,000 fellow citizens and untold numbers of foreigners just to help their 2020 election chances, most of their base would STILL stand by them.
