THK: I did not say that (pointing finger at reporter).

CM: Well, what did you say?

THK: I did not say that.

CM: I am just asking, What did you say?

THK: Why are you putting those words in my mouth?

CM: I thought you said something about being un-American?

THK: No I did not say that

CM: And activity?

THK: I did not say activity or un-American, those are your words (pointing finger again). You can record it and listen to it.

(THK moves down ropeline, speaks to next reporter)

Reporter B: (Inaudible question)

THK: You want to know what the question is? He says that I call this an un-American activity. I did not.

THK: I have to go do my prep.

(THK talks to other reporters/supporters down the line. Inaudible.)

(THK talks to PA Gov. Rendell and aides on the steps, pointing back in the direction of the Colin McNickle. At the end of the discussion she briskly walks back in his direction.)

THK to CM: Are you from the Tribune Review?

CM: Yes I am.

THK: Of course (she turns away quickly).

CM: Come here (tapping THK on the elbow).

THK: (Turns back to reporter) Understandable. You said something I didn't say, now shove it. (THK is shaking and pointing her finger at the reporter. She then briskly walks away.)
