    Snopes uses the term “Correct attribution” for fact checks like this. They aren’t reviewing the accuracy of the statement, only that they did, in fact, say it.

    I would encourage similar terminology here. It may not always be clear if you’re analyzing the claim or the quote.

      Good advice, as reading this back it could be read as saying the sentiment was true instead of the attribution. Thanks.
