You don't. You don't bias interpretation like that at all.

With politics, if you after the truth, you have to consider context. Coded / indirect speech is common, and it's also common to say an acceptable thing, while meaning an entirely different thing, aka dogwhistling (like "family values").

Don't you think this approach might be the reason for the extreme polarization of the politics in US? If one side demonizes the other based on "considering context".

I don't. What would be the alternative, believe the face value outright? That's not just a bad approach to politics, where everything is about controlling narratives, but a bad life advice in general. Or do I misunderstand what you mean?
