This is insane. I’m trying to think what the reaction would have been if Mayorkas, DHS Secretary under Biden, had got his security folks to manhandle and shove Tom Cotton or Ted Cruz in this way.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

Weird he was texting him national security secrets, then.
Reporter: Can you share how your information about war plans was shared with a journalist?

I obviously don't know Bragg's family, but personally I'd feel insulted for my family member's name to be used like this. He's not being honored—they pulled his name out of a list of alternatives to intentionally associate him with a confederate traitor and slaver.
