President Donald Trump‘s Saturday morning tweeting included a lot of retweets, an assertion that the Kavanaugh hearings are driving Dems to the GOP, and several Fox & Friends quotes, including from Trump advisory board member Jason Meister, who appeared as part of a panel “discussion” with host Pete Hegseth.
He began by referencing the Brett Kavanaugh hearing to say that, between that and impeachment, Democratic voters are “voting Republican.”
After watching the disgraceful way that a wonderful man, @BrettKavanaugh, was treated by the Democrats, and now seeing first hand how these same Radical Left, Do Nothing Dems are treating the whole Impeachment Hoax, I understand why so many Dems are voting Republican!

He then quoted Florida Republican Rep. Michael Waltz speaking on Fox & Friends.

He then moved on to the longer quote from Meister.

….trampled on our Constitution, and they have done irreparable harm to our Republic. The American people are going to speak up and speak out about this. I think this guarantees Trump’s re-election in 2020.” @Jason_Meister

There were several other segments during Saturday’s Fox & Friends dedicated to the idea that impeachment is hurting Democrats more than Republicans, or even driving Democrats to the GOP.
Update: Later in the morning, Trump tweeted the clip of Jason Meister’s Fox hit.
