Make the record clear.

I did not delete those tweets because I was running for office.

My opponent is spreading around me doing this because I'm running for office, but that's simply not true.

And I do have regrets on how I expressed my values on Twitter because my values are around

It's around accountability.

And I think rhetoric matters.

I certainly wouldn't use a lot of the language that I used back then today.

And I think it's deeply important that we use language that is unifying, language that allows people who might not at first understand where you're coming from to

but can still hear you and can come to a place of empathy and understanding, you know, in that era, there was a lot of pressure to be, you know, woker than thou, right?

That has gotten us to a point where a lot of people groan or roll their eyes, right?

And that has been so counterproductive to the things that we're actually fighting for.

That phrase, yes.
