You’re looking at this through one partisan lens, we’re looking at it through another. But facts are facts, and increasingly you’re having to explain stuff away as being “carelessly worded”. When in fact, companies like Bain have highly paid people to draft their communications.

Because the wording is awkward no matter how you slice it. What is a “part time leave of absence”? I understand that a lot of people are trying to spin this that he was working as of CEO part time but I doubt that’s the case. Smart, well spoken people gaffe all the time. Internet politics, especially in election years, deals a lot with misspoken or poorly chosen words. Most of it means little at the end of the day.
