Mayor Holly Andreatta, who recently launched her campaign for Placer County Supervisor, spoke for about 25 minutes at the inaugural meeting of Club America at Twelve Bridges High School. In her remarks she tied her daughters sexual orientation to childhood trauma, said that separation of church and state was a myth and relayed Kirks belief that Martin Luther King Jr. was a Marxist and that his civil rights activism was not helpful.
My oldest daughter had a lot of trauma as a child, Andreatta says in a video recording of the clubs meeting. Something really terrible happened to her when she was very young that I would hope would never happen to any other child, and as a result of it, shes a lesbian. Shes gay.
Andreatta was not aware she was being recorded by a student in the club. She says that her words were taken out of context by the students who recorded and shared the video and that other aspects of the video, namely the part about her relationship with her daughter, was meant for the students in attendance who were listening and asking questions.

(71,104 posts)... what a tone deaf stupid simple minded thing to say. How does a complete statement, reported completely get taken out of context?
We have a big secret in this country, it's a dirty, dirty secret: men attack women a lot more than is reported. Why isn't she addressing that, and a huge amount of it centers around churches and "ministries".

(75,859 posts)And, how do recorded comments get taken out of context?
Is there evidence of editing or is this weak, but breakneck, backpedaling?
