i studied american history at columbia university.an tell you for certain these attempted bombings, and as horrible and scary as they are did not succeed, and therefore are in no way worse than what transpired on that fateful night at ford's theater in washington, d.c. in 1865. so my advice to this msnbc historian, understand the significance of history and do not abuse, do not compare, do not conflate it with modern day events that are simply not the same in scope or significance. stop trying to scare americans by invoking these racial under tones. lincoln stood for greatness. lincoln stood for equality. his assassination is something the country has never quite recovered from and probably never will. but this week's bombing attempts while scary and awful, they have not caused harm to anyone. and thus they must be reported on, they must be commented on with context and responsibility. do not abuse history to serve your current political agenda. joining me right now, a man who knows a lot about history himself. presidential historian,
