The video, first shared in 2025 and resurfacing Sunday, shows the North Carolina Republican in the room where Abraham Lincoln once read letters by the fireplace in the 1840s. Moore explains the stairs, part of the original construction starting in the 1700s, once led outside but were long closed off—local legend ties similar passages to British troops during the War of 1812. While some viewers praised the history lesson, baseless claims of secret networks emerged, though the Capitol's underground features are well-mapped for practical use like tunnels and subways.
