No, your source appears to have lied. It was not a press conference. It was a minor talking point in a blog where she was interviewed. I guarantee you that it is a quote mine.

When you can't find a proper source it almost aways is. You should know that. You have debated creationists and have seen how they do that. Trumpistas are no different from creationists. Lying by quote mining is perfectly okay for them.


I did find what was probably the blog, but I am not sitting through a half an hour or more just to see if it is.

Here is a hint, you cannot find this comment from any reliable news source.
Define what a reliable news source is. I just KNOW you can define it. You're so good at giving your definitions when asked for them.

I know that you do not like it but Media Bias Fact Check is a very useful site. They demonstrate how the sources got the ratings that they have. One thing that you should remember is if you are trying to convince a conservative it is best to find a more conservative site. If you want to convince someone that is more liberal find a liberal site. But far more important than their bias is their accuracy rating. Sites that only say "left" and "right" are all but worthless. You will notice that when it comes to bias both left and right is that the more extreme that they are the less reliable that they are. If you chose any source from the top box outlined by dashed green lines of this illustration you should be okay:

And if a story that you found elsewhere cannot be found there it is probably best to ignore it.

You have lost almost every argument that you have been in . You might want to rethink that post.


If you do not understand how you have been refuted you could probably ask if you provide proper links.
You can't provide any evidence that I lost any argument. You may feel that you were correct in your own opinion, but that doesn't mean much.

Oh my!
Your little chart is not a definition.
See, you lost this argument.
Care to try again?

Quote mining is dishonest. You just supported my claim with your post. It was a foolish quote mine too since I have now pointed it out and anyone can see it.

If you cannot be serious you will never learn and will only continue to lose debates. It is boring to rip apart individuals that are willfully ignorant individuals. I would enjoy a challenging debate, but there do not appear to be any capable Trump supporters. It looks as if everyone that can reason has left the party.

You didn't even show where quote mining took place, which means that you're not participating as an honest interlocutor.

And yet, here you are.
Oh, the irony! :p

You edited my post when you quoted it. You cut off the explanation. That is blatant quote mining. When the answer to your question is in the post that you used the reply button on but cut out the explanation on purpose is so obvious that I should not even have to explain it to a five year old.

Wrong again. I simply hit the Reply button, and it included your entire post.
Go check again.

I see that you do not understand the meaning of the word "irony" either. It is so amazing how the only thing that losers learn from the debates that they lose are the terms applied to them in the past.
Well, even though you're not being a polite interlocutor, I'll reply to you anyway.
How ironic that I need to correct you this way.
Do you see your error now?

You are right. It is even worse than what I said. You simply ignored the part of the post that refuted you in your reply. That was still a quote mine, you just pretended the answer was not there.

I have never been rude. You have been wrong and rude, as you are in this post of yours. This is why you lose. You can try to irritate by not being honest, and improperly mimicking someone is rude. You do not get to complain when you are blatantly wrong and shown to be. You may not like your face being pushed into your errors but your own behavior makes it necessary at times.

Oh my! Are you trying to save face by redefining what a quote mine is? Would have been better if you had just been willing to accept your mistake and move on.
I won't bother asking if you recognize your error now. You obviously saw it, and then saw a need to deflect from it.

Nope, that's not how the rules of debate works.
Please try again. Let me know when you are willing to debate within the rules.

You had already broken the rules of debate when you were corrected in manners that you did not like. You continue not to listen. I told you that if you want others to treat you better you need to follow the rules of polite debate. You do not get to deny your losses in a polite debate.
