the 250th anniversary year of the country.
And people today are going to raise their voice and to say that whether Donald Trump likes it or not, we have the right to protest.
We have the right to worship as we choose.
We have the right to our conscience.
And we have the right to say no kings in America.
I think all of this has to be looked at as playing out as a continuum from the very first act on the first day of Trump's first presidency, where Sean Spicer goes out and he demands a type of obedience from the MAGA member.
And that is to suspend belief that the smaller crowd size, because Trump says so, is suddenly bigger.
And you have a president who is told not a hundred lies, but scores of tens of thousands.
He has assaulted objective reality.
There is no debate that exists in reality about whether there's free and fair elections in the United States.
There is.
Donald Trump lost an election.
He won two of them to our great national shame.
but he won narrowly.
It's the cornerstone of our society and we're under siege from all of these lies.
And what Donald Trump understands is that the person sitting across from him that wants to get a merger done, that wants to get a deal done, that that person in almost every instance will not do what Catherine Graham did a generation ago, which is stand up to power, which is what Don Lemon does, which is what Joy Reid does, which is what Jim Acosta does, what Tiffany Cross does.
They won't do that.
They'll capitulate.
They'll get on their knees.
ABC will write that check for an absurdist lawsuit.
