	On March 19, 2017, JonTron released a video titled [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krOOThz3fJg My Statement]. He described the articles written about him following the debate as uncharitable, and accuses them of highlighting things he did not truly believe. He admitted he was not prepared for the debate and went on to describe many of his remarks as being made in the "heat of the moment". JonTron contended that his main argument in the debate was to speak to the increasing tribalization of American culture, the silencing of white voices, and the lack of acknowledgement of "uncomfortable statistics". He concluded the video by asking the audience not to delve too deeply into the statements he made during the debate, and that he'd be returning his focus to making comedy videos.
