I am impressed with the article and the sourcing is excellent. The article is new enough in the last five days. QPQ has been done. Out of all the hooks you provided I really like ALT 3.. it is a bit of drama and likely to draw in readers. I checked the Washington Post source provided supports the shoving incident. I think this is good to go.Rain the 1 21:49, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
