And so when the media was so sour and bitter that we had gotten this binder that Yes, we were kind of laughing at them. We were holding up the binders in defiance saying, you know what? You've been relegated to the bushes because you lie and you smear and you gaslight the American people. And we are the media now. And that was the background of that picture.
