Feigning ignorance.
Yup. In conversations like these, the guy getting questioned should be hooked up to a lie detector. LOL
But, like Sec. Rubio talking about whether or not Putin is a war criminal, it is pretty obvious they have to say one thing while their mind is saying/thinking another.
In this case, in his mind, he is going "that dinner is a stupid terrible idea, but I am afraid of President Trump and getting him mad at me so I had better pretend I know nothing about it."

I thought this was a gaffe when he said this n response to the gulf states giving billions to Trump. But it seems to be his actual talking point.
I think the most embarrassing thing about being a maga republican would be realizing how stupid your politicians think you are.

My god. Guy gets convicted of using his employees payroll tax money for personal use. Gets 18mo sentence plus he has to pay restitution of 4.4MM.
His mother went to one of those ‘meet the president for $1M’ dinners and three weeks later he gets pardoned.
Just in time to not pay the restitution

And another pardon - this time a couple:
In June 2022, they were accused of falsifying documents to defraud Atlanta banks out of more than $30 million through fraudulent loans. They also hid millions of dollars from the IRS that they earned from their show “Chrisley Knows Best,” a federal jury found. Back in February, their attorney told NBC that Trump was “seriously” considering pardoning the Chrisleys.
