The two pieces of information are not correlated. “The article is also very good, and states the facts, I don't understand why my words were distorted to this extent. People have taken my words and turned them into clickbait to sow discord. That’s what makes me sad, because we can’t afford that right now,” she said on her friend’s podcast.
