I'm on my phone, so I can't add a link, but anyone read anything into Ailes comment about his citizenship?

If you haven't read it, there is a link to his speach, with the comment, on Drudge.

I've read it multiple times now, and it doesn't seam to me to fit into the context in a natural way. It seems kind of forced. Just curious if others read it the same way.

Re: Ailes speech:

Murdock is the one left his country but Ailes citizen comment does seem forced and might be a veiled reference to Barry’s likely non-citizenship.

“My remarks tonight are my own, and don’t necessarily reflect those of News Corporation, Rupert Murdoch or Fox. I will say, however, that I didn’t give up my citizenship to create and run a news organization. I speak here with the highest authority and title anyone could ever aspire to — citizen of the United States.

“We must stop waving our extended arms in an effort to balance ourselves as we tiptoe along the edges of the Constitution, in an effort not to upset weak-kneed appeasers, with our unflinching belief in the ideas and principles that made our country different and yes, great!”
