I believe that I tweeted that, and as I've said earlier, I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the last half decade.

I don't recall the exact context, sir, so I wouldn't be able to say.

I don't believe that, sir.

I don't think I've ever read that book, sir.

Apologies, I don't recall that I did. I've never read that. That's funny. You tweeted. You took a full day off to read it.

I think I was probably reflecting on what it was to grow up in an environment where I had lots of advantages.

I don't believe that anybody feels that way, sir. I was just reflecting on my own experiences.

I have never said that, sir.

Congressman, I appreciate the opportunity to address this. I regret those tweets. I would not tweet them again today. They represented a time where I was reflecting on something that I believe that the president had said, rather than who he is, I don't presume that anyone is a racist.

I don't believe that at all, sir.

That is correct.
