elements of the story there that are relevant for now is they relate one, as you alluded to at the top, this murder happens the day after an election.

Where this violence that happens that day and Brian Sicknick dies and Ashley Babbitt dies for that matter, one of the writers.

And, you know, that happens only because of the political rhetoric.

And we now have the people in power trying to just rewrite it and change it and erase it.

And they've made that change already at the Smithsonian in D.C.
