your oversimplification relies upon omission. I'll provide context by relying on an instructive analogy.
you are a rich kid. you're worried about other kids picking on you. so you buy them all a lot of bottle rockets for them to use to help you. but one of these kids goes up and down the street using the bottle rockets you gave him, and is mean. so you take them back from him, and do a lot of damage control in order to get back to square 1.
does that make you a hero? or a sucker?

the one who doesn't quote word-for-word but instead provides his own wording similar to what he thinks things mean.
the one that needs to bring up off-topic examples in order to make a non-point because he refuses to acknowledge the context of a word used by Michelle Obama, that he himself uses:
