Statements can be true independent of motivations. If I say all women should be armed would it hypothetically matter if I were a good Samaritan or if I owned a gun store? If I'm not trying to enrich myself or influence someone to my own benefit what would my motivation matter? That's a major issue I have with people calling for example Tucker Carlson a deep state stooge, if what he's saying is in my opinion the truth what does it matter who signs his paychecks?
