That’s essentially what Perry said: that he pulled in big money and was offended by her suggestion that he’d sell out for such a small amount.
Essentially is not a quote. Greta made a pithy, headline-ready restatement as if they were Perry's words. At least she made a factual error along with her deliberate misquote so maybe it won't be very useful to the left. Let's just watch and see what gets into media releases, his words or Greta's.
