In reply to the discussion: White House Thoroughly Denounces Columbia University Protests: 'Blatantly Antisemitic, Unconscionable, and Dangerous' [View all]Beastly Boy

These words are clearly not "within the quotation marks of the Whitehouse quote". These are obviously my comments reflecting the facts of the matter, just like all the rest of the post outside of the quotation marks. And rather than addressing them as facts of the matter, you prefer to falsely describe them as me inserting something into the WH statement, which is... how should I put it without violating the DU terms of use... a bold-faced misunderstanding of the conventions universally accepted in using quotation marks.
