What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe Washington Examiner reports Congressman Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat, introduced a bill to put the Trump administration's "propaganda" in the Smithsonian.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSpecifically, the National Museum of American History would preserve the banners hung outside several federal buildings around the National Mall. A museum exhibit!
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMy favorite kind of gift shop!
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorChip, I have seen propaganda museums on four continents. One in a basement beside a bowling alley. The bowling alley was more honest.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorGloria, I just want to know if there's a food court! Nothing says history like a pretzel the size of a steering wheel!
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBoth parties treat banners like sacred relics when they're theirs and litter when they're not. Congress has invented the world's most expensive scrapbook.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNow to Fox News. The WHO and the U.S. State Department have asked Russia for details on a woman's death.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorShe worked at an anti-plague institute, and there are reports of a second pneumonia case.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOfficials are asking questions, and no cause has been given in our data.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI've sent polite requests to Moscow before. The reply usually arrives as silence and a very small cucumber. Details here remain unclear.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMeanwhile, the Washington Examiner's Bob Cusack says Republican candidates need Trump's base but not Trump. Midterm math, folks!
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorEvery candidate wants the party without the guest of honor. It's a wedding where everyone hopes the groom is stuck in traffic.
