Context
Before the quotation
Loomer's remarks and follow-up insults had prompted criticism from Nixon and others.
After the quotation
Akers also reproduced a conciliatory statement attributed to Nixon; that reproduction is not treated as independent primary evidence of Nixon's exact words. This is a September 5 omission, not a newly made September 10 comment.
Sources
Akers's own September 5 post criticizes Loomer's treatment of Nixon and urges support for Nixon's Senate candidacy. His reproduction of Nixon's response is secondary and is not being imported as a new direct Nixon statement. This is an older missing reaction, not a statement first made on September 10.
