He said it alright, just not quite how the article frames it. Per usual, they make up and assume what he DID NOT say was actually what he was saying. They make it seem like he is arguing that white folks need guns to defend themselves from black folks, which he wasnt. If you LISTEN, in context, he is making a point that inner city gun violence in our black communities is big travesty that no one seems to care about. That is not a stretch, its what he was saying. Knee jerk reactions to a “mass shooting” by some white dude in the burbs while literally ignoring the epidemic of inner city violence.
spez: to add - he needs to get educated by a competent PR person really quickly. Run up to the election will involve lots of these parsed sound bites to provide character assassination. There are ways to dodge it but it is not a 'quick study'.

So...he pulled an Adam Schiff characterization.
