Maybe she did. Doesn't change the fact that using misattributed quotes tends to diminish the perception of the preceding opinion in the eyes of readers.

    I think in this case the quote actually paints her in a better light the reality. You can forgive someone for being sheltered and naive, but you have to be a monster to abduct children from their families.

    There was no mention of child abduction in the comment I was replying to. I was trying to underscore the point that including demonstrably false information in an opinion piece weakens the piece as a whole.
