I don't understand the use of ようなこと in this context


recently I came across the following sentence:

アタシ。。。お前らを応援するようなこと言ってたのに。。。

I'm really confused by the use of ような in this context. Hope someone could help
me understand it.

Thank you.




Here it means 'like' or 'that kind of'.

You can think that:

[Aのようなこと] means'something like, similar to or the same as A'.

So I would agree with your interpretation. Maybe the speaker hadnt exactly
said 'I support you guys', but they said something along those lines, in that
vein.
