Mayor speaks at high school Turning Point meeting, explaining why Charly Kirk's comments about Blacks were ok

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 daughter’s sexual orientation to childhood trauma, said that separation of church and state was a myth and relayed Kirk’s 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 club’s 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, she’s a lesbian. She’s 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.

His comments about the 1965 civil rights act, and MLK Jr are well documented along with dozens of other hate filled messages

That would have been a day of high drama at my high school, which was quite conservative. The administration would have been very unhappy if any speaker said those kinds of things at the school.

... 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".

That was an awful thing to say about her daughter unless it was already general knowledge.

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