Let me clarify

Your excerpt from the transcript says: "That raises the question in my judgement, whether she shouldn't say, "You know, if you don't want to vote against him because he's black, then I don't want your vote."

The actual transcript says: That raises the question in my judgement, whether she shouldn't say, "You know, if you want to vote against him because he's black, then I don't want your vote."

The first (your excerpt) inserts the word "don't" into Gergen's statement in a way that totally reverses the meaning, to make it appear that Gergen is saying Hillary is a racist.

So which is it, and why did you do that?

Words to live by

To the Chinese, freedom is a threat. To the right wingers, criticism of the Catholic Church was a threat. To some folks in Missouri, the fact that I continually bring up issues related to Johnson's shut-ins is a threat. Exactly how do we define a level of 'threat' in this new Gestapo brave new world? Is it in the eye of the beholder?
