Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., directly challenges Dr. Anthea Hartig, director of the National Museum of American History, regarding her past comments on linking research to activism. After Hartig denies this, Rep. Steil plays a recording of her 2020 lecture where she embraced this role. Fox News' Laura Ingraham highlights the director's apparent disregard for accountability, suggesting the Smithsonian aims to 'overcome America with activism' by portraying its system as inherently racist.
