As I said, that's one interpretation of his remarks. As I'm not him, I won't comment one way or the other on what he said.

It's not an interpretation of his remarks. He didn't make any false statements. The only part of his statement that might be construed as a statement of fact was a assertion that the "MAGA gang" was trying to "characterize" Robinson as not being "one of them." Even if that is a factual statement (and without any definition of what the "MAGA gang" is, it's hard to say that this is a falsifiable statement), not even you are asserting that it's untrue. Many (if not most) conservatives have been, and continue to, contest that Robinson is "one of them." In fact, I think you wholeheartedly agree that Robinson isn't one of "the MAGA gang."

The FCC provision doesn't apply to "interpretations" or "implications" of statements that are broadcast. Just false information (and only false information with very specifically defined immediate effects, which this statement didn't fall into, either).

This provision just isn't applicable. There's no argument that it is. The FCC chair's statement was completely insupportable.
