That's exactly what this is. Bjornson sounds dirty as hell -- he's acting out mens rea. An honest person would be out front asking what these people have done with all those subsidies, and just who are they anyway? And he'd add for the benefit of lucid understanding, that there was no way his office would approve this stuff for distribution to public schools.
Instead -- silence and evasion.
Good to see you, lentulus!
I'm starting to think that a lot of what are called "conspiracy theories" (especially by leftists) are nothing but stark fact.
