If they want to mischaracterize what you say there is nothing you can do about it.

It is pointless to apologize.

It would have been better to never mention Jim Crowe and just say the first half of the twentieth century, but you can’t unring a bell.

He basically apologized, but sharp, and wanted him to be his bitch.

The Left is always going to mischaracterize what you say so I disagree that something is better not said. That idea is what gives the Left the power to say what people may and may not say, and that is not free speech.

What Donalds and others are saying is that faith, discipline, hard work, dedication to family, and inner strength permit Americans — including black Americans — to thrive and advance even in hard times. In contrast, the message of Sharpton and the Democratic Party discourages and disables people by telling them that they are victims unable to help themselves.

I believe in saying what you mean & meaning what you say! If you can’t do that, stay out da television. I guess Byron needed some notoriety! No, Byron, you’re not the VP pick!

Maybe he was afraid his comments would incite a riot and a clothing store might get burned down.

Rev. Al Sharpton didn’t include anything about it in today’s Sunday morning church sermon to his church congregation. ⛪✝️🛐🕯️🕯️📙👨🏿‍⚖️

Oh, wait. There was no sermon. He has no congregation. He doesn’t serve a church.

He is a professional race baiting hustler.

If CEOs give him cash he refrains from calling in thousands outside the headquarters to chant in protest and boycotts for the CEO being a racist.💰💰

Never forget that Sharpton is a scumbag. He has always been a scumbag and he will always be a scumbag.

What show is he on every morning? Is it MSNBC? He sits there like a stump. And, they treat him like a stump (a token stump at that)! They act like he has no intellectual “gravitas!” So, they don’t call on the “Rev” to comment!

"many on the Left, who have interpreted the remark to be about how Jim Crow laws benefitted black people"

So the lefties just "interpret" things "to mean" other things. Hey Byron, welcome to the Republican party, where everything you say is distorted forever by an army of useless liberal arts graduates with nothing better to do.

I feel much the same way. I no way do I feel we should allow them to set the ground rules of discourse.

It gives them power they have amply shown they will abuse with no qualms.

Nor do I

However a politician does not have the option to just ignore the MSM commentator that misconstrues his meaning.

They should not apologize or gently amplify their real meaning.

It is perhaps time to forcefully counter attack against those that intentionally misrepresent what was said.

The best defense is often attack

but I will still say don’t foolishly give them an opening by using your words carelessly. Politicians don’t have that option either.
