"... SOME BASTARD WILL GET UP AND SAY THAT THIS NEVER HAPPENED"

Today, a Republican member of Congress - and a U.S. Senator at that - said it's "a waste of time" to study history because it happened such a long time ago.

For the record, this is why we document, record, teach and revisit history ...

And, yes, while the sitting U.S. Senator - Josh Hawley (R-MO) - was referring to Watergate, his suggestion that we ignore history is just as ignorant as it sounds.

We study history so we learn from it, and don't repeat it. Pretty simple.
