34 分钟The south rewrote the history of the Civil War.
Slowly, what we now know as the Lost Cause myth built steam over time with lectures,
magazine stories, and then statues and monuments,
until eventually it became for some Southerners the official narrative of the war,
eventually meaning, like many decades later.
But back then, there was no tv, no Twitter, no truth social.
To speed up the process of revising history, a few days ago,
Trump did his first post election interview on NBC with Kristen Welker.

But there was one part about halfway through the interview when Trump did not seem so mellow.

They've done reports and you would say that's true.

These people are living in hell.
The jail he's talking about is the D.C.
jail.
These people he mentions have been charged with crimes related
to the January 6th insurrection at the Capitol.
