Can anyone explain what that headline is about? My liberal family members have been talking about it non stop but it comes from the msm so it's probably garbage.

Here is the source: https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/deadline-legal-blog/trump-constitution-oath-14th-amendment-rcna127049
"Why would the former president emphasize such a thing? That’s because Section 3 of the amendment disqualifies insurrectionists who have “previously taken an oath ... to support the Constitution.” Thus, the argument goes in his Colorado Supreme Court appeal, he’s eligible for the presidency again in 2024 because he swore to “preserve, protect, and defend” the Constitution, not support it. "
To me it sounds exactly like the stuff Trump always does, say something true, but worded in a way that it can easily be twisted by the media, in order to generate MSM headlines, and achieve his ultimate goal of getting publicity/exposure to whatever he was pointing to.
