Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The context of the line you quoted was from earlier
God damn. I hate all of these upvotes to wrong information. 30 upvotes to the guy who called it a lie, despite it being the first line in the article. Another dozen to posts speculating that he said it earlier.
** The quote is from an interview from last night where he also talked about the attack on Omar.
The interviewer even replied "never again?" And he reiterated "never again."**
He called himself a lightning rod for political attack from the right due to running with Kamala, and he didn't want his people to be punished for it.
Wait - Am I the one you think speculated he said it before?
I just quoted the article saying he had said he wouldn’t run before but hadn’t said at the time he would never run for office and that OP took their quote out of context
No, sorry, not intended at you. I meant to reply to the lie comment. Sorry!
No problem - I didn’t take it that way at first but then I sat down to eat and looked at the thread at large and just wasn’t sure.
I do think my original comment could have been worded more clearly so maybe I was just feeling guilty 😅
