When a
skeezy politician who makes an idiotic statement that reflects his real opinion has it pointed out how stupid, racist, homophobic, etc. his comment was, uses a form of
time travel to "walk it back" & say something less idiotic to replace his original statement.
“No, it wasn’t a mistake. I said exactly what I said. Explain to me what I said wrong,”
Bush said.
“You said, ‘
Stuff happens,’”
Lizza responded.
Trying to walk it back, Bush replied “things happen all the time. Things, is that better?” Bush replied.
