It’s the responsibility of the person who makes a claim to substantiate it.

I wasn’t the one asking for a source. [email protected] was. But just for the record, a search engine isn’t a source. These clips would’ve been: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pz3syET3DY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjqaNQ018zU
Maybe if I asked for a source rudely, people would have taken my request legitimately instead of assuming "sealioning". Can't win, never mind being polite.
It’s sad that (judging from this comment thread) people seem to agree that it’s ok to make unsubstantiated claims and get pissy when you challenge them. Oh jeez I wonder why a US president can get away with spouting nonsense all the time.
