What do a politicians comments crossed the line . We want to know where the line is. There is a debate happening in washington over Marjorie Taylor greenes support for and comment she made before she ran for congress in 2018 and 2019. Cnn reported this week about postings she made.

We need to do a better job of telling the whole american story. The story of the Indigenous People and how they were here and their culture and how they thrived.
