No, you misunderstand.

It’s evident that he is incapable of “understanding”, so I’m not sure it’s fair to say “you misunderstand.”

He doesn’t just contort himself into a pretzel try to evade the obvious logic, it’s more of a pretzely-pretzely-pretzel. This sort of thing only counts if a Democrat does it, but not if a Republican does it.

This is the sort of pablum that Fox News and similar feed daily to their base, but without the ability of anyone to come in (as albaby does) and say “No, that’s not right.”

He picks and prods for every single word, looking for the tiniest sliver of daylight for his argument, and failing to find it, reaches for that portion of the brain in which the rest of us find the ability to say “OK, I guess I was wrong” but finds nothing, so like the toddler who can’t accept the obvious continues on with the argument, ignorant of the fact that it has been fully answered and explained to any other sentient being.
