One more time - PLEASE check alleged quotes, including quotes in images, before posting them on DU as real, [View all]

fooling a lot of DUers, getting a lot of recs from people who assume that if it's posted on DU it's real, and making other DUers as well as yourself look gullible. Which is a really bad look for this board. And will also make other DUers who believe a fake quote is real and copy it elsewhere look foolish there.

It takes less than a minute to do such a search. If a famous person, especially a famous politician, has said something outrageously quotable, you will see stories about it from real news outlets very quickly.

If the alleged quote is just showing up on social media, and if it doesn't link directly to a social media account owned by that famous person, it's almost certainly yet one more fake started by some troll who thinks getting fake quotes spread across the internet is cute.

Don't help those trolls who are inventing fake quotes.
