    I’m not defending anybody. I never was. I was just saying that yeah, seems like it could be pretty loud. Maybe it was a misunderstanding, so let it go because you’ll never win that argument with the people who watch this garbage.

    However there are other shitty things in this very same video you could nail him for if you’re actually involved in an ongoing conversation with someone who you’re trying to turn from this way of thinking. Which I am.

    So I don’t give a fuck if he meant or not. That’s not the ammunition I’m going to use when I have to once again talk to my brother who is balls deep in this bullshit.

    But you’re so fucking desperate for a gotcha that you’re looking for an enemy anywhere you can find it. You’re playing right in to the divisionary tactics.

    You think I came in here with an agenda. I did not. I had no idea who this guy is or what his organization is.

    I’ve explained myself enough. You’re not having a discussion in good faith and I don’t think I’m out of line to tell you to fuck off at this point. So fuck off.

      Sure got sensitive. I’m over here wondering why you were making excuses for the reporter in post after post, and you’re over there complaining about “tribalism” and downvotes. In a post about a guy calling for death to political opponents. Then you came back with the classic “two sides” argument, which is when I think you knew you’d just resigned yourself to this.

      You talk about me not having a discussion in good faith, I think if you go back and read my comments to you, you’ll see I asked pretty simple questions and tried to figure out why you’re so desperate to die on the “maybe he didn’t hear right” hill when he demonstrably did. And so did everybody else but you. I’ not looking for a gotcha or anything else, I’m trying to figure out why that one particular thing has you twisted in knots when it’s so incredibly clear that the reporter heard, understood, and agreed with what the interviewee said. It’s just weird thing for you to still be defending when there’s so much evidence that this guy didn’t make a mistake. He only apologized because he got caught.

      Anyway. I see your feelings are raw over this. So. Bye.

        Don’t care. You’re picking and choosing what you want to hear to make me a villain. Yeah that’s kind of fucking annoying. Your tribe has decided that I’m the enemy so I am to you. Nothing I say will change that. And yeah. It’s fucking annoying and pointless to continue.

        Now fuck off. You’re a fucking loser. I hope a bird shits on you.
