Jake said the minister said to kill gays. Ted hadn’t heard that, and neither did we in the “spooky” sounding video from that left-wing site.
I can’t say on TV or here that you haven’t said to do perverse things with animals, so if someone asked me if I agreed with you on that subject they claimed you said, am I supposed to say something like, “napscoordinator and I have differences and also places where we agree, but I certainly don’t condone doing perverse things with animals, if napscoordinator actually said that.”
Sometimes it’s best to just move away from a subject you can’t speak to without the whole set of facts. I certainly could not say you hadn’t said to do perverse things to animals if I was not aware of the full context.
