It is not what you and others are claiming.
He backtracks, and you accept it. Both were entirely expected.

You've never heard of someone misspeaking before? It happens all the time. He cleared it up.
Oh right. He probably meant to say that president's don't have to obey laws. That makes perfect sense. This couldn't possibly be yet another example of political rivals taking a quote out of context and then running with the idea that the opposition's words mean what the listener (rather than the speaker) wants them to mean.This.

Stop being such credulous rubes, people.

Yeah, let's not pay any attention to what Dershowitz claims he meant. Let's listen instead to what CNN claims he meant. That makes perfect sense.It was taken out of context.

You see, context matters!
Come on, dude. Deep in your heart and not so deep in your brain, these cognitive inconsistencies have to be eating you up. Come back to earth and reclaim your independent thinking.
Maybe you ought to take a look at the actual quote in context before you make a claim that is so easy to refute.In prepared speeches before the US senate?
“Thrill, aren’t you just a blind partisan? Aren’t both sides the same? Thrill, remind us again why you think the GOP is an unprincipled, unserious, corrupt and juvenile party and needs to be voted out of office.”
