25. When you post a quote with quotation marks around it, it's understood to be an exact quote.

I'm not disagreeing with the take on her overall opinion - if it had been offered as a summary or synopsis.

When it's offered as a direct quote, and the quote is partially not her own words, then the quote is not authentic.

If we don't want to fall into the lazy fake meme quotes of the right, we need to authenticate what we provide as a direct quote.
