It's inferred. Don't be so literal. See dog whistle politics.
“Dog whistle politics usually refers to the use of certain code words or phrases that are designed to be understood by only a small section of the populace. Generally speaking, these are phrases that have special meaning to that subsection entirely independent of its meaning to others, and represent a particularly insidious use of loaded language.

Also if it hasn't been done let me be the first to welcome you to FreeRepublic.

“It’s inferred. Don’t be so literal.”

Then unless you SAY she implies it IMO the headline is misleading. Putting words in someone’s mouth is a tool of the left and I think it reduces the credibility of the person posting it. I dont think its too “literal” to expect that a persons comment be accurately reported.

Thank you for welcoming me to FR, but if you look closely you will see I have been posting here for over a year.
