A still image from I don't care what the Bible says

This video features in a responsive display in the museum that presents the moments, stories and memes capturing the zeitgeist by going viral on the internet.

On November 5, 2018, Ana Kasparian delivered an impassioned response to American conservatives justifying their denial of women’s reproductive freedoms based on their Christian faith. On May 4 2022, when leaked documents foreshadowed the overturning of Roe v Wade – which enshrines the right to abortion in the US Constitution – the viral clip resurfaced, gaining over 101k retweets, 8,613 quote tweets and over 321k likes on just one Twitter account, demonstrating how viral content can resurface and resonate again years after its original publication.

The video reused on @KalobGossett's Twitter feed
