No, it's true. So Ezra's really, I mean, Ezra's a brilliant writer. I've loved his work since he started. His work is better than ever.

That they need to do the only thing they ever do when their ideas are challenged, which is to demonize the person who's challenging them and say that person's a terrible, evil person who's our enemy.
