I don't think she's really talking to them or expecting them to suddenly admit what they are doing and change their actions. I feel like she's moreso talking to the American people. I know personally it at least gives me a modicum of hope to see that there are still people who will stand up for what's right and call them out on the floor of Congress. It's certainly better than living in a world where no one challenges them anyway.
She can try to talk to the American people but the ones who need to hear this are only going to get the Fox News edit of the hearing.
I agree that those people need to understand her point the most and that they likely won't even if they did hear it unedited but even the people who are already on her side like myself still need to hear it. Not because we don't already understand what she's saying but because it shows that we haven't given up yet.
Everyone who speaks up, encourages others to speak up. You will not get the ones that only sit a t home only watching fox news, but if everyone who leaves the house is still met with opposition to their absurd claims, it will deterioate the effects of fox and co.
What we expect to be the normative view does influence our views. People want to hold the opinion that they think to be the majority opinion. That is why cults try to isolate their members from other people with other opinions.
By just giving up and letting their propaganda run unopposed we help them feed it to their followers.
