Even if he explicitly denied it two seconds later that would not matter.If Bob accuses Amy of murder and then follows it up by saying "and by that I mean she used all the penutbutter, not that she killed a human being" that's just Bob contradicting himself.
No, that's not a contradiction, that's an example of poor usage of words in the extreme.
The purpose of language is to convey thoughts from one person's mind to another's. When you disregard what the person clearly meant to say and instead take away only what the dictionary definition of their words amount to you aren't communicating.
So in the end you've made your position clear; you aren't interested in what the democrats are saying. To you this is all just a game of gotcha, and as long as you can find words that overlap with the words of your tribe then you get to claim both sides are equal. That's ridiculous and brazenly dishonest. There is no way you would do the same thing to someone in your tribe who uses the wrong choice of words (I could ramble of dozens of examples of Trump doing those that you will no doubt excuse away).
This is of course predictable to a certain extent. When you are fundamentally wrong on an issue the only way to argue your position is to focus on word games.
