Today, our question comes from Dante from Council Bluff, Iowa, who writes: The tragic shooting of Renee Good is on everyone's mind. We are still getting more information regarding this tragic death. The Administration is painting this as justified and making Ms. Good, not the victim, but the reason for her death. I think this narrative is shameful, but there are outlets that are promoting this account of events. On January 6th, when the young woman was killed while storming into the capital, the far right painted her as a martyr.  Even though what she was doing was illegal. But the right is now painting this woman, who was clearly murdered as a terrorist. I guess my question is: Is America as we once knew it dead? Have we become so polarized that we cannot see this for the tragedy that it is? Does the panel believe there will be any accountability for the continued violence against citizens who oppose this President?
