If you’ve been following politics over the last month or so, you are more than familiar with the saga over the autopsy that the DNC was refusing to release. After stonewalling for months and an incredibly viral interview on Pod Save America, where DNC Chair Ken Martin vigorously and incredulously defended the decision not to release the autopsy, the whole imbroglio has roiled the party for weeks and led to a debate about the debate.

All along, Martin’s argument was that the autopsy had happened, it had been helpful in informing his strategy, but that releasing it would be a distraction and divide the party before the midterms.

Well, that was all bullshit.
