    Okay, I don’t disagree with the statement on the face of it, that’s not what I was reacting to. Why say anything at all, if you are Jeffries? It’s not like it’s going to come out that it was all a big misunderstanding.

      There’s no way the House Minority Leader isn’t going to get questions on this. Seems pretty reasonable to get a public statement out.
