Examples - NOT X BUT Y --- Hello Biljana,

I found her entire speech powerful and for the life of me could not understand why there weren't more 'Yay' votes. I digress. The following sentences are some examples I was referring to:

(text within the * symbol denotes preemptive speech construction)

"This is not about me, this is not about Rep. Gosar but this is about what we are willing to accept.

"Not just the Republican leader but other members of this party (including Representative Gosar himself), the illusion that this is just a joke, that what we say and what we do does not matter so long as we claim a lack of meaning..."

The above sentences were meant to give a clear visual to her colleagues as to why they should vote in favour of Rep. Gosar's censorship. There is recognition of the current 'illusion' and then she offers 'reality'.
