    What point? You said that the quote was out of context and not representative of his actual views. You didn’t provide anything to support that point. I looked for any more context and found none. I found nothing to indicate this his actual view is contrary to his statements.

        His own words, which I quoted.

        The interview has been reported by multiple outlets, none of which have provided anything that show his quotes are out of context.

        That’s your claim, you try to find the context. I’ve already tried, and found none.

          My point has been that you’re taking the word of a fascist propaganda network as representative of his opinion, which you are continuing to do. Hence not seeing much value in this conversation, you’re demonstrably content to take the word of borderline literal nazis so long as it supports the narrative you’ve been given by, again, borderline literal nazis.

            It’s literally his own words, that have been reported on my multiple outlets, not Fox misrepresenting his words after-the-fact.

            Did you not read the articles? Or watch the interview? Or do you also not support abolishing ICE?

              “Well sure they’re fascists absolutely renowed for their manipulative interview tactics and being a borderline nazi propaganda outlet, but I don’t understand why you aren’t just accepting that they clearly didn’t do that this time”

              That’s a really bad argument you’re peddling there, buddy.

                Is your point that the mayor is a Nazi? Because again, and I don’t get why you can’t comprehend this, they are his own words.

                If your point is that he’s a Nazi because his doesn’t support the abolition of ICE, then I wouldn’t really disagree. That’s why I likened it to an American version of liberal Zionism.

                If your point is that he’s not liable for his own words because he said them on Fox, you’re an idiot.

                  I’ve clarified my point repeatedly, you’re welcome to engage with that. Until then, alas, barbs cast by those who unquestioningly accept Fox News’ narratives don’t really… matter to me.

                    If Fox wanted to misrepresent his views, they’d cut out the ‘don’t’ and claim he does support abolishing ICE. That’s beneficial to their goal to claiming opposition is by domestic terrorists.

                    Your grasp of media literacy is impressively nonexistent. Because again, they are verbatim the Mayor’s words. Not taken out of context.
