Untrue, untrue, untrue. In my interview with this reporter, I specifically claimed that I did NOT give up on Senator Clinton. In fact, at Johnson County convention I committed to her.

What I said in the interview was that I was going to remain uncommitted until I was on the convention floor, and that there were numerous variables that would implicate my decision. One of those variables was the fact that other candidates have dropped out of the race, limiting my ability to represent the total makeup of my precinct.
