Response to this claim
El-Sayed's immediate response should have stopped at an unqualified condemnation; adding causal context at that moment was a mistake.
“He admitted he was wrong. He apologized.”
Supports Xochitl Hinojosa and Mallory McMorrow's reactions. One clip is mislabeled in the transcript and should not be attributed to JD Vance.
She emphasized corrective action without defending the original statement.
