The fundraising email sent out on Monday claimed that Silver said Ossoff must win Georgia's special election for Democrats to take back the House.
Silver, editor of the data website FiveThirtyEight, responded to a tweet that said Silver was back in the fundraising emails by declaring that Ossoff was "making shit up that .@NateSilver538 never said."
Clasping hands over the lower abdomen/crotch:
When a person finds himself in a position where he feels vulnerable but is required to display confidence and respect, he clasps his hands over the crotch or lower abdomen. By covering up the crotch or the lower abdomen, the person feels secure and confident. This is why this gesture is commonly confused with confidence. Confidence is the product of this gesture, not the cause.
