South Florida said: "Paul was appalled. He thoroughly rejected your claims about 34 convictions, cheated on wives, paid off porn star, ties to Proud Boys, no plan, and would be fine if Vance took over and started shooting people, not funny. If you check those beefs are not mine, they are ancillary. But hestill hasn't answered my questions about climate change, and Russia love. Is NATO dumb, should we allie with Putin?"
Continued distortions. The accurate version is:
- Yes, I was appalled by what occurred on Jan. 6th, but not to the extent you were - because we disagree on the actual crimes committed as well as the level of Trump's direct or indirect involvement.
- Yes, I did reject the 34 convictions, because, given the circumstances in which the charges were brought, the entire charade was absurd.
- I did NOT reject the allegation Trump cheated on his wives. I stated I didn't know and added context that indicated the point was moot due to similar behavior AND support of other prominent figures that indicated (to anyone who can be bothered to reason) that arguing Trump's cheating is hypocritical.
- I did NOT reject paying off a porn star. I rejected the porn star's credibility based on what she herself wrote in her book.
- I did NOT reject ties to Proud Boys. I questioned it, because I am unfamiliar with said "Proud Boys" and unfamiliar with any ties.
- I do NOT reject anything of the sort that Trump has no plan. I indicated IF that is true, I'd rather he do nothing than have Harris at the helm. I have previously stated I think Trump will do much of what he did in his first term, so that isn't exactly "no plan".
- I did indicate I would be fine if Vance was at the helm, however I did NOT indicate I would be fine if he started shooting people. Knowing "you all" will attack for frivolous and ridiculous reason's I guess I should have clarified and specifically stated I would be OK with Vance at the helm but not with shooting anyone. I guess that was my bad, given I know the level of absurdity you will go to.
When you can demonstrate reasonableness - and stop playing games, I will answer any question you like.
