The Tom Cruise sequel that’s been shattering box office records has become an obsession in right-wing corners where it’s being hailed as an “anti-woke victory” thanks to its patriotic imagery and glowing portrayal of U.S. Navy fighter pilots.
Case in point, Republican Congresswoman Claudia Tenney stopped by Newsmax where she pushed Top Gun: Maverick as a much better alternative than watching the upcoming January 6 hearings.
