And notably here, on these shows that Trump was hitting, you did not see representation from the other side, from the left.

Right. And like Lena Kahn, Ta-Nehisi Coates, you'd expect them on like the Ezra Klein show. Mm-hmm. But maybe saying favorable things about Luigi Mangione is where Hasan Piker sort of, you know, strikes a different chord.
