Pay close attention, poor baby. I will make it as simple as possible.

A statement that someone has mentioned things she has never said, or mentioned, a series of very specific things, is either true or false.

Either she said (mentioned) them, or she did not.

If she did not, then either the statement was made in error or it was a lie.

She did not.

If brees, the original retailer of the misstatement is simply intellectually incapable of distinguishing between a quote and a characterization, then it was made in error.

Same for you. Either you know the difference between a quote and characterizations-based-on-conclusions-drawn or you don't.

Your choice is: are you stupid or are you ignominious?

Since X has expressly spoken against the human ability to discern truth, the mutability of the concept of justice, the inability to ground morality in self- evident principle, and the like, I am not sure what all of the fuss is about. Yes, X has her moral sentiments, but she is too smart to think that they are objective. brees may be putting it all in the harshest way possible, but he is not being essentially inaccurate........
