Keep the words in the record. Posterity should know.
Yeah that was rather short sided by the lady. But I don’t blame her one bit.
Just fyi, it's short-sighted.
Ohh snap. Normally I’m the one correcting people! Thanks for telling me, I hate saying the wrong words lol
Short sighted mate
Reps are timed when they talk so they can amend the congressional record, because they might have wanted to say something but weren't given enough floortime. I am not a 100% but I think Senators are not allowed to amend the record.
