This is the quote from the article that Vanita Gupta wrote on November 4, 2012. It says: ``States should decriminalize simple possession of all drugs, particularly marijuana, and for small amounts of other drugs.'' And then in her sworn testimony, in response to written questions, she said: ``I have never advocated for the decriminalization of all drugs, and I do not support the decriminalization of all drugs.'' In 2012, support for the decriminalization of all drugs; in 2021, ``I have never'' supported ``the decriminalization of all drugs.'' I wonder if my colleague--I just simply can't reconcile those two statements, both given under oath to the Judiciary Committee. Can you reconcile those statements?
