Live Drawing The DNC: Day Three

Everybody belongs

The evening began with a very moving few moments. The parents of a young man, their only son who is a hostage in Gaza, spoke about the pain they are going through. It was incredibly powerful.

Then we heard from Cory Booker, one of my favorite people. He is a politician who really wears his heart and passion on his sleeve, and I appreciate that so much. I want him to run for President again down the road.

Representative Bennie Thompson then spoke. He was the chair of the January 6th Committe, and was very effective in that role (I live drew it). This period of the evening was all about January 6th, and they showed a powerful video recapping all the horrible events of that day. This video should be shown over and over, all the time, as difficult as that would be. In my mind, while I have not forgotten that day, I fear we have forgotten the depth and breadth of how horrible it was. I also had not realized that nine people had died as a result of that insurrection.
