Whilst the quote is often clipped for headlines and social media posts, the full quote with no missing preamable, words, or context does not change in meaning. Ergo "it was clipped" is an intentionally deceptive, misleading, false manner of defending the utterance... A LIE.

A lie for the benefit of The Dotard and for the benefit of MAGA Repukes.

Do better next time, PA.
