God damn, this is brutal. I watched it and it gave me absolute chills. The world won’t forget this man’s bravery and sacrifice, even if the media doesn’t cover it.

There's going to be some big presidential debate drama. Bidens going to forget to wear socks or Trumps going to go tanning again... The important stuff.
