Sure, there are some lesser-known political news items that belong on HN. But this story is on the front page of ever news site in America.
From the submission guidelines: "If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

Isn't political content like this (interesting as it is) off-topic for Hacker News?

Is this (post, thread) on-topic for HN? Seems to fall pretty definitively into the politics / TV news category.
(Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.)
