“And when it happened, I tried to be there for my brother.
I’m not an adviser.
I’m a brother.

I wasn’t in control of anything.
I was there to listen and offer my take.
And my advice to my brother was simple and consistent.

Own what you did.
Tell people what you’ll do to be better.
And finally, accept that it doesn’t matter what you intended,” (viaPolitico).
“I never made calls to the press about my brother’s situation.
I never influenced or attempted to control CNN’s coverage of my family …
The situation is unlike anything I could have imagined.”
