Your point was you thought he skipped words and that is what you did to me. Now you can try the pretzel trick again but it doesn't change that fact.There is no "even". It was an exact quote to what she said. She messed up. She then went on a rambling quoting someone else. I still can't tell where that quote ends and she starts spewing her BS again.
I was not trying to say that he skipped over words in mid-sentence, like I did. I was trying to be humorous by leaving words out of your quote.

My point was that Acosta, who is a journalist, is supposed to pass on to people what the press sec said. That sentence was not the crux of her statement, and IT DID NOT REFLECT what she meant to say.

So the press should report what she meant to say. You can't make this stuff up.
I guess in true Kool-Aid tradition that is the excuse for all Trumps racist remarks. He didn't mean to say what he actually did say.

Would you same the same if a Fox news reporter tweeted "BREAKING: Joe Biden admits that he is secretly married to his sister!" after he mistakenly said "this is my wife" on stage that night?

Or, would you say that the reporter knew that it was merely a gaffe, and it is wrong to report it when he knows it's not Biden's real intention.

It's not like they were left to their own devices to figure out what she meant to say. She clearly clarified exactly what she meant within the next 30 seconds. It is the press' job to report what she said fully, and not parse what she said to make it appear like she meant something else completely.
Failing at maintaining Lurker status.

His point is that she actually said those words, so it's fair game to quote her, as long as the quote is technically accurate. He's right that as Press Sec she never should have said that, and she opened herself up to some smarmy reporting. But Acosta is plain wrong here, and I think everyone agrees on that.

You can play what if's all you want.
1 - She messed up. Glad you are finally understanding that.
2 - His was an exact quote in context but he left out she said something different later on.

Biden also said "this is my wife."

"Clearly" you must be kidding. Where did the person she was quoting end and her gibberish begin?

You are right.

Reminds me of a famous meme where the guy says, "so I'm right," and the other says, "I already said you are," to which he responds, "I know, I just wanted to hear you say it again!"

 :P

To help the uneducated Trump supporters.  :P
I am not agreeing with what he did...
Let me say it again. What he did was wrong, plain and simple.
He was wrong for what he did.

All this hanging around in online forums with Trump supporters had had a serious effect on your so rationale, so moral, so balanced mind

Defense Secretary bans (not allowed) the racist confederate battle flag from military bases.  Cancel culture does work sometimes.
