\u201cSomething that actually did happen: insurrectionists incited by Trump's Big Lie stormed the Capitol on January 6th, some carrying the Confederate battle flag. Many of those who tried to overturn an American election marched over the place where Abraham Lincoln's desk once stood.\u201d

\u201c@KFILE @rhonda_harbison Like so many Republicans @RepGregSteube is so busy looking for "gotchas" that he just fires them out with no research or understanding. It explains why Republicans never get around to GOVERNING FOR the people. The are too busy airing neurotic resentments instead of WORKING.\u201d

\u201c@KFILE Sorry to really nerd out here, but Rep. Lincoln\u2019s desk was in the back of the chamber. The view portrayed on the CNN screen is approximately where Rep. John Quincy Adams\u2019 desk was.\u201d
