    So the quote is “we don’t.”

    What was the question asked?

      MARGARET BRENNAN: So, you went to meet with some of the campus protesters out in Pittsburgh recently, you are in support of some of those young people who have chosen to protest against what’s happening in Gaza. Do you hear from them that they’re excited to go vote for Joe Biden?

      REP. LEE: To be honest, you know, we don’t. It’s not a topic that, you know, always comes up, but it does a lot. I think that the number one goal for them right now, you know, just listening to what they had to say is that they want to see a ceasefire in Gaza, they want to see the indiscriminate bombings and killings and right- that is the reason why they’re on there’s a lot of noise around this that- that distracts from that. There’s a lot of noise that tries to take away from that central message. But, that is the central thing they are fighting for and they believe and they feel like our government can do more. And that’s what they’re looking for. They’re looking for some sort of acknowledgement from our leadership, that they hear our needs, that they hear these young people saying that we want our country, we want our government to go in a different direction.

        Thank you. I hate when articles do that.

        I guess see it mostly in entertainment news.

        Headline:“So-and-so wants to join X franchise”

        Conversation: “Would you get interested in joining X franchise if an opportunity came up?” “Oh yeah sure why not?”
