mentioning somewhere in your film, marking the second anniversary of that shameful, shameful day in american history on the capitol steps. i was reflecting on my own trauma, on that picture as you can see. very quickly, my own worries and fears faded, as we stood there and family members came up to the microphone to simply say the name of the five fallen officers. if you saw the last folks who came to the microphone, his children, not tall enough to reach the microphone to call out the name of the officer. it felt surreal to be on that for, for vote after vote, for a failed leader. and it felt very strange and frankly, chilling when at one point, that gaetz voted for donald trump on january the 6th, voted for donald trump to be speaker of the house. of course, that got nowhere. so he lost huge.
