I'm pretty sure this is designed (by WHs) as a backfire against the sociopathic marxists in FNM. I say this because even those fairly rabid leftists I know personally - cowering at the latest super-bug (aka excuse to jab up with the latest virtue-signaling booster of potentially dangerous experimental drugs) and clymate change, thinking the Potatus isn't a complete and total dementia-ridden disaster, etc - are not going to accept that interviewing a controversial political figure translates as treason.

On the other hand, if this is truly a strategy of the swamp creatures... Well, they're seriously having some severe mental health issues if they think this is going to gain them any ground with even their dwindling sheeple base.

Either way... Wheat from the chaff, gradually pulling more people that can potentially be saved out of the matrix mindset. Show the rabid FNM talking heads to be unreasonable, thereby diminishing confidence and trust in them. Death by a thousand cuts.
