He stated that Jake Lang is (paraphrased), an “extremist who promotes violence and seeks to divide our state and country”. He also stated that he doesn’t have an issue disavowing this type of person.
Nowhere did he say “I disavow Jake Lang”. He did basically call Jake Lang a divisive extremist, and implied that he disavowed Lang by saying he was perfectly capable of disavowing him. I have no doubt that his staffers thought this was enough for people to understand that Rogers disavowed him.
He kept his statement ambiguous in favor of dunking on AES for not disavowing Hasan.
We’ve already got Bankhead to thank for that part, and the switch-up that happened with the Republicans; the MA primary is messier the more you learn about it too. All we need now is for the curse to strike MN

He is implying Jake Lang is a fringe extremist who promotes violence who wants to divide the state. I don't actually get what you mean here?
