          You made a false claim. I showed you the claim was false. I’m not sure why you can’t acknowledge that.

              No, we’re not even. I gave an opinion. You made an incorrect statement you tried to pass off as factual.

              Any time you want to admit you were factually in error, go for it.

              But I won’t be holding my breath. This is the internet. Dishonesty rules.

                  Any time you want to admit you said something false, feel free. I realize that saying “I was wrong” is the worst thing a person can possibly do… but maybe don’t have that particular conservative mode of thinking and have some humility?

                  I gave an opinion. Was that opinion based on incorrect information? Possibly. So far you have not demonstrated that to be the case.

                  On the other hand, you stated something as a fact. You were shown to be factually incorrect. You refuse to admit it.

                  Apparently you, like many conservatives, even though you are supposedly not a conservative, think that ever admitting you were wrong shows that you are weak. It doesn’t.

                  I am guessing next up will you be trying to gaslight by insisting that you didn’t make a basic factual error.
