That is a misrepresentation.
That is not how I feel.
But you know, thats their choice to do that to me.
What can I do?
Im not taking back what I said.

I have to call a murder a murder and I have to call the murderers the murderers.

I never said that.
I never even implied that.

Its to shut me down.
Its to discredit me.
It is to intimidate me.
