I'm not sure the issue, federal subsidies of local police, is the issue. Rather it might well be Matt Gatez' frustration over being denied significant leadership position under leader McCarthy.

It's a very important issue.

Gaetz thankfully is running with it.

Not sure what your frustration is with it, but to suggest cynical intent by Gaetz is unfortunate and not convincing.

You misread what was never written nor intended.

I posted what was "written" by you.

Indeed you did but that has absolutely nothing to do with your misreading. I said, "you misread what was never written nor intended," and indeed you have. How have you misread what I wrote?

I said it is Matt Gaetz who "might be" frustrated", "Rather it might well be Matt Gatez' frustration…."

You distorted this to become not Gaetz' but my frustration: "Not sure what your frustration is with it…." Worse, you then proceeded to compound your distortion by accusing me being "cynical:" To suggest cynical intent by Gaetz… ..". Of course, I made no such suggestion-your suggestion is as misplaced as your distortion.

Having compounded distortion with false accusation, you then asked me to explain myself: "The floor is yours to explain what you "meant".

I am ever willing to defend what I said but I feel no obligation whatsoever to defend what I did not say nor to defend a false proposition advanced by someone else wrongly attributed to me.

Finally, what is "not convincing" (your words) is a mode of argument that first quotes someone but then proceeds to distort and fabricate.
