I don't have a "version" of what Hillary said. Frankly, she was correct. Maybe her percentage was a bit high, but it was a fair assessment.
Was it smart to say that? Fuck no. But I don't recall ever paraphrasing her on that, let alone doing so inaccurately.
I liked the statement. I also liked Obama's "guns and religion" statement.
