5. Then (not paraphrasing) the exact quote is:

“Did the, Hamas, show any signs of like, help? Or liking you? Did they wink? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? … Like, you know, what happened in Germany?”

Because if you substitute the direct quote with a paraphrased summary "Nazis treated Jewish prisoners with love..." presented as the actual quote, it can be and will be deniable or 'spun' because it isn't an exact quote. I agree that his thoughts (if you can call them that) expressed in his direct statements are accurately sumarized by the paraphrased statement. But having said that, I can just imagine some MAGA person arguing that he didn't actually say that. The motherfucker is great at alluding to his outrageous ideas without providing a direct actionable quote. It's mob speak. He's very good at it.
