And these people at MSNBC and to a lesser extent, CNN, were going to ride this wave and and propel it. And they could say anything they want. The the. Blinders were off. The muzzles were off. They could say, do anything. And they really did. And they didn't realize the mood of the country, where it was. They were we were in the middle of a counterrevolution because people were sick.
