I never said you were lying. I said the quote that person pulled from your article isn't true. IIRC your article came out before the one I linked came out.
I believe the quote pulled from my article is true. Freedom’s original article lines up with what other people told me. I know he’s tried to retract it, but I don’t trust him to be truthful in this matter. He has lied about other things like the takeover being necessary for security.
