STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

I like how in Heian era Japan, the nobility used snippets of poetry to communicate ideas (much like "when in Rome--") and you were seen as deeply cringe if you didn't understand the references
