“Even though he’s entitled to his opinions, he’s not entitled to his own set of facts”

During a broadcast of Donald Trump’s speech at a “Get Out the Vote” rally in Rock Hill, South Carolina on Friday evening, Fox News host Neil Cavuto cut into the footage to point out inaccuracies in what was being said by the former president and 2024 Republican frontrunner.

Taking issue with Trump claiming credit for the market going up while, in the same breath, blaming Biden for inflated gas prices and whatever else, Cavuto said, “We’ll continue monitoring the president’s remarks and I mean no offense to him or some of you who might want to continue to hear him, but I did have to say that even though the former president is entitled to his opinions, he’s not entitled to his own set of facts.”

    Funny you mention that, because I had written your version first, but changed it when I checked an original source (south park meme) to confirm the spelling. Sounding it out, I would say it’s accurate that I’m hissing the c, slowing down and dragging out the end of the word.

      Ah, in that case the problem isn’t you, it’s the letter c! I’m sure you realized that while -ce hisses, -cc clicks. But unless you stick esses in there, which further confound the spelling, niccce is all you can do. Thanks for not getting mad, and have a good weekend!
