Martha MacCallum is a host of Fox News.
She said Democrats could use clips from them in commercials.
She said that it will be useful in upcoming campaigns.
Martha MacCallum speculated that Democrats could use footage from the House Select Committee hearings in the next two elections.
MacCallum did not dispute the testimony from witnesses who spoke about Donald Trump's attempts to subvert the 2020 election, but she predicted that the footage will be turned around into campaign ads.
I think there is another campaign ad when I look at these hearings. MacCallum made a statement. When you look back at what we have in terms of the Mike Pence part of all of this, it will be very useful.
The House ethics rules prohibit the use of radio and television tapes and film to promote or oppose the candidacy of any person for public office.
MacCallum wasn't happy with the lack of Republican representation on the committee.

MacCallum said that one of the things that stood out to him was the lack of opposition questioning. I think that most of these people would hold up well under it, but I think that it would lend a little bit more credibility to it to have someone in that room say, 'Yes, but what about this?' Is that something that's important? We're not getting that right now.
MacCallum, like other Fox News hosts and contributors who have brought up the committee not being split evenly between the two parties, did not mention the Senate vote to block an official bipartisan commission from being created.
The lack of evidence to back up the voter fraud claims made by the Trump legal team was one of the major revelations from the Tuesday hearing.
"It is very compelling, and the lack of evidence is the huge, stunning, clear moment where these people are saying, look, I've supported you, please give me something to work with, and it simply doesn't happen," MacCallum said.
Fox News didn't reply to the request for comment.
