recently I came across the following sentence:

アタシ。。。お前らを応援するようなこと言ってたのに。。。

I'm really confused by the use of ような in this context. Hope someone could help
me understand it.

Thank you.

question
grammar
I don't understand the use of ようなこと in this context
Here it means 'like' or 'that kind of'.

You can think that:

[Aのようなこと] means'something like, similar to or the same as A'.

So I would agree with your interpretation. Maybe the speaker hadnt exactly
said 'I support you guys', but they said something along those lines, in that
vein.
