zk, I did watch Cooper’s interview again where he fed her those two insults and asked her if DJT called her that. After a long pause, she said, “yes he did, all the time,”[/quote]
Obviously you’re aware that there’s a time lag between when we hear Cooper and when Machado does. It happens any time there’s an interview via satellite. That’s why those interviews frequently involve people talking over each other. She didn’t pause at all, let alone for a long time.
In any case, she did not deflect the question, as you falsely claimed.
