You know what I’m saying, instead of giving a brother the exact fundamental of what he did, what he said. Nobody’s doing that anymore," he continued. "It’s amazing how you can do something, but if you don’t agree with everything that somebody does, which I plainly said that. I don't agree with everything my wife does…I never endorsed any president."
