Clay Jenkinson and regular Listening to America correspondent Lindsay Chervinsky talk about moments when the first president, George Washington, may have been tempted to drop the mic — if such a technology had existed in his time. We discuss Washington’s response to the Newburgh Conspiracy, Washington showing up at the Continental Congress in uniform before they had appointed him Commander in Chief, Washington’s Farewell Address, and Washington’s gift of a basket of figs when Colonel Hamilton was beset by a sex scandal.
