7. Context. Sounds more like he walked back a general statement he made about ICE.

More agreeing that not ALL of ICE is state sponsored terrorism, and that it would be better to simply work with them normally, status quo. What he didn't seem to walk back is that nazi fucks kicking in doors and shooting folks in the face was in fact state sponsored terrorism.

Folks that get their "news" from Yahoo/Mediaite probably just, you know, shouldn't. (see, that's a generalized statement, which I'd gladly stipulate that there are times that Yahoo/Mediaite may very well have a decent bit of "news" reported on their site, but doesn't walk back the context of the statement, as an example) Not sure Charlie Nash is putting things necessarily in a proper perspective from time to time.

That said, I didn't watch the video, just read the article. Maybe he does walk it all back and don a klan hood like some would suggest actually happened. And if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
