Chris Wallace did make him look stupid. It was pretty funny.

Schiff.

Meditate on that one word for this whole week, then get back to me with claims of Fake News.

Schiff wasn't even hiding the fact he made that crap up.

Indeed. He even premised his statement by advising that he was giving his interpretation of the “essence” of the call "in not so many words." As if to inform the listener in advance that he wasn't reading it word for word, but boiling it down to its core message. So, no, he was not hiding it.

Amazing, that. He's so crafty!

So what you're saying is that Trump is lying when he says that Schiff was lying about what Trump says itself is a lie about Trump lying? No wonder we all become so confused.

When you paraphrase something, it's supposed to be somewhat close, not your interpretation of the call, that fits your agenda....


But let's say you are correct....why did he walk back what he said?

I myself am too dumb to keep more than one story straight.

I don't see that as a walk back at all. When asked, he again clarified that he was paraphrasing the core message sent, not quoting it.

Of course it was. Sure, it was the core message within his head, but not close to what the actual message was. It was nothing more than drivel for his impeachment base.


Or, are you saying, that as long as you clarify, after "whatever" you say (no matter who says it)....then everything is good, yes?

You apparently don’t know what a “walkback” is. Reaffirming your earlier position (e.g., this is a paraphrase of the core communication) is not a walkback, regardless of whether you deem the paraphrasing to be accurate.

If you want to see a walkback, check out Mick Mulvaney telling us that he didn’t really say what he’s on video saying. Thats a walkback
