White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Monday justified President Donald Trumps tweet falsely accusing Black NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace of a hate-crime hoax, invoking Jussie Smollett to claim the president was merely making a broader point about rushing to judgment without facts.
After devoting much of his Fourth of July weekend speeches to stoking culture-war grievances, the president fired off a tweet blasting NASCARs only full-time Black driver, despite Wallace not being in the news for weeks.
Has @BubbaWallace apologized to all of those great NASCAR drivers & officials who came to his aid, stood by his side, & were willing to sacrifice everything for him, only to find out that the whole thing was just another HOAX? That & Flag decision has caused lowest ratings EVER! Trump blared, also slamming the racing league for banning the Confederate flag.
Last month, the FBI investigated a noose that was found hanging in Wallaces garage and determined he was not the target of a hate crime, noting that it had been there since last year. Photos emerged later clearly showing the rope was a noose, meanwhile, and NASCAR stated it was unable to find any other garage pulls fashioned that way.

Now, I did hear Martinsville was way down from the last time it ran as scheduled.
But, I found this link. It says ONLY 60 Minutes had more people watch during primetime than the Brickyard race.

So, PINO's "low ratings" thing isn't true.

it's bullshit, of course, but a RWer and his conspiracy theory will not be gainsaid.
