As I posted in the other thread:
I don’t believe the transcript, as listed here, is correct. I searched for the video of the whole exchange, and all I could find was the short interaction that was posted in the X post.
In this video, Himes begins speaking at the 34:25 mark. The interaction between Himes and Gabbard begins at about the 36:05 mark. His first question, as listed in the post, begins at the 39:40 mark. After he asks the question, the transcript in the post deviates greatly from the actual video. He asks one more question about Gabbard’s retweet; she answers that it came from her personal account, and shortly thereafter, he yields his time.
IOW, the transcript of the exchange, as posted on X, and quoted by Johnny_L.A. is not factual.
Disclaimer: I did not the entire 2:31:27 of this video.
