However, without looking I would ask you, who has won the Pulitzer Prize in any category over the past five years? This argument is a whole bunch of nothing.

I know one Pulitzer Prize winner from more than five years ago. McPherson. I have quoted from his Pulitzer Prize winning work more than once on the Lincoln Discussion Symposium. The following is my introduction to a McPherson quotation from a June 21, 2018 Post:

"Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era" is a Pulitzer Prize-winning work on the American Civil War, published in 1988, by James M. McPherson. In 2003, in his book "The Illustrated Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era," McPherson wrote the following paragraph at pages 136-137:

I have a request to make of you, Rob. I would sincerely like to know what specific objections you have to the criticisms, written independently by the Pulitzer Prize winning Lincoln scholar James McPherson and Sean Wilentz, Professor of history at Princeton University (your personal favorite "Lincoln" author), of the published work that won for Nikole Hannah-Jones the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary.
