That would mean she acknowledges she was wrong to repeatedly say there was no shortage, and companies like Calbiee were just out to personally make her look bad.
Like trunp, I don’t see her accepting any mistakes made any time soon.
Why would anyone be hoarding the stuff?
Surely they’d be using it to produce whatever product it is that they produce? I don’t know.

Probably cuz she’s in the pocket of refiners who paid for her campaign. Typical for right wing candidates.
