The Atlantic’s Edward-Issac Dovere commented on the “enduring image” from yesterday’s inauguration of VP Kamala Harris’ longer hair “blowing in the wind as she took the oath of office” because of its significance of her as a woman . . . or something:
One of the simple enduring images of the day: Kamala Harris’s hair blowing in the wind as she took the oath. No one with longer hair (in other words: a woman) has ever taken the oath of office outside at the Capitol before, because she’s the first woman to ever do it

i love how he hammers home the point at the end because we are all too stupid to get where he was going with it.

Our D.C. and New York City news media are deeply unserious. https://t.co/V7Pc9lhrQR

But was his tweet even accurate?
Have we fact checked this against the founding fathers? George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr come to mind as contenders. https://t.co/GZBYxFlFXv

Over to you, PolitiFact:
Technically correct, because George Washington who famously had long hair (and didn't wear a wig like many contemporaries) took the oath in NYC. https://t.co/v98lK5sDPf https://t.co/tBg6amkfoM
