I did not say it was a slip, you just made that up.
What I said was that the statement says nothing about what Vance's core beliefs are, and that anyone that believes legacy media might have said the same thing about Trump at the time.
I went on to say that anyone not wanting to get cancelled by the rabid left might say the same thing.
And again, this was said in 2016, before his first term.
So, nothing even remotely about a slip. Why not have an honest discussion?
