Does Ayanna Pressley really mean this?

I think she said “centering,” not “censoring.” The phrase “centering the American people” is one she uses a lot.

Possibly I guess, but it sounds amazingly like “Censoring”. I hear two “s” sounds, not one and a “t” sound.

Doctored audio by the republican deep state, bro.

Wake up, sheep!

For whatever it’s worth, the transcript also says “centering.” I doubt the audio is doctored. She just said it weird. My pastor at the church I grew up in said “erection” instead of “resurrection” two different times several years apart, but everyone knew what he meant and I don’t think anyone gave him trouble over it. Talking is hard sometimes, even for people who do it as part of their profession.

@Zounderkite The problem with that interpretation is the whole sentence. How can you center people to advance progress? The progressive people are the far left side. It seems odd. Combine that with censoring being exactly what the Dems were doing to advance their policies and narratives and it seems that “censor” was the word that was said. The fact that her people changed it in the transcript doesn’t mean that is what she meant.

I think she said “centering” but still it’s a stupid platitude.

@seawulf575 You are misinterpreting the phrase. “Centering people to advance progress” means putting the needs of people (working and middle class) first in order to advance progress. You might or might not like the terminology but that is what is meant. Nothing really to do with left and right in that term.

Please just accept for once that you may have been wrong. It would be refreshing.

@janbb One thing for certain maga people can NEVER ,NEVER,NEVER admit they were wrong about anything, doing so in their minds shows weakness, better to die on the lie then admit they might have been mistaken and learn from it.
