; Whereas no tape of the interview with the New York Times exists and the paper refuses to release the reporter’s notes of the conversation; Whereas the question that Congressman King is purported to have been responding to has not been disclosed and neither the New York Times nor the reporter has answered whether the question posed included the two odious ideologies that were then alleged in the response, logically leading the Congressman to repeat back the ideologies as they had been first posed by the reporter; Whereas the structure of the purported quote contextually only makes sense if the reporter did in fact refer to those odious ideologies in the question posed, in so doing leading Congressman King to repeat them back as he pondered the question that was asked of him; Whereas the content of the Times quote makes it clear that King was ONLY talking about Western Civilization . The quote : White Nationalist, white Supremacist, Western civilization—how did THAT language become offensive? Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and our civilization? ; Whereas NOBODY IN AMERICA EVER SAT IN A CLASS about the merits of White nationalism or White supremacism. The incorrect interpretation that has been given to this quote refutes itself based on the quoted sentence’s own construction
