Hakeem’s ABC’s.

If you didn’t stay up to watch Kevin’s acceptance speech (sounds like it was written by Marge), you didn’t miss much. Mostly, it was about giving all members of the House, but mainly the insurrectionists, the freedom to participate and pursue their independent agendas. They are all individuals. They can think for themselves. They can run with scissors if they want to!
