Rachel Maddow made history, as her Lev Parnas interview was the most-watched cable news program in history.
According to a statement sent to PolitcusUSA by MSNBC:
MSNBCs The Rachel Maddow Show scored record total viewership Wednesday night following Rachel Maddows exclusive interview with Rudy Giuliani associate Lev Parnas, with 4.5M total viewers and 844,000 viewers A25-54 tuning into Maddow on January 15, according to Nielsen. Parnas interview dominated the news cycle after he revealed explosive allegations against members of the Trump administration, including that President Trump knew exactly what Giuliani was doing in Ukraine. Parnas also claimed that Vice President Mike Pence did not attend the May 2019 inauguration of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky because Ukraine had not announced an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden.

The record level of viewership for this interview suggests that the American people are paying attention to impeachment. They arent, as Republicans have suggested, bored and tuned out. The historic ratings for Maddow are a warning shot to Senators that the nation is watching, and they will pay a political price if they try to pull off a sham impeachment trial. - PoliticusUSA

than the GE
I love their choices ... vote to remove Trump and lose the primary, vote to keep him and lose the GE

about how Americans just aren't interested in impeachment. Happy to see Rachel proved him wrong.
