Daily Wire host: Dominion trial is about telling conservatives to “never dare question Democrat election wins”

Knowles: “I at least have enough sense to know this is not about Fox News. This is not about Sean Hannity. This is not about -- this is about conservatives raising the obvious question, which is to what degree did the libs rig the 2020 election?”

MICHAEL KNOWLES (HOST): Right now, there's a story that the liberal media are absolutely obsessed with. I haven't really paid any attention to it, I don't really care all that much. It's a story of the Dominion trial. Dominion, the voting machine company, is suing Fox News for defamation because Fox had the temerity to suggest -- or certain Fox hosts, not even many Fox hosts, but a handful of Fox hosts had the temerity to suggest that maybe there were some shenanigans in the election. And Dominion glommed onto this and said, you're questioning the integrity of our machines, this is defamation, we're going to sue you for a gazillion dollars.

What's this trial really about? The message of this trial is that conservatives had better never dare question Democrat election wins. And if you do, we'll destroy you, we'll take away all your money, we'll take away a billion -- more than a billion dollars. We'll take away your company the first chance we get. Oh, he said something about Dominion, okay, I think that's actionable. Let's go get him.

Do I care about Dominion? Do I care about Fox News? Do I care -- no. I don't really have a personal stake in any of this. But I at least have enough sense to know this is not about Fox News. This is not about Sean Hannity. This is not about -- this is about conservatives raising the obvious question, which is to what degree did the libs rig the 2020 election? That's the message of the trial.
