    I haven’t denied the severity of it. Usually quite the opposite. It’s horrific and getting worse every day. I never said it wasn’t bad under biden, I have said it got worse under trump. Those are two VERY different statements. The first denies the severity at all, the second expresses that it’s severity is increasing. This is like english 101.

      Two sentences later

      I have said it got worse under trump.

      So you did, in fact, explicitly deny the severity of it. The fact that you stopped doing it when your team was out of power is not an excuse
