I think even though we intellectually understand what America is at its base, right? That there is a great amount of racism, anti-blackness, anti-wokeness, this idea that political correctness is some scheme to destroy white America, right?

And as the night wore on and I realized and it sunk in, okay, that's not happening, we are still who we thought, unfortunately.
