But cutting through the more likely than not biased paraphrase, what, actually, did the first group say?

You want judgment, I want to judge them on what they said, in context, not what an opposing group said they said.

If a (R) group says, "Hey, AOC said, ..." (with paraphrase) i want to know what AOC actually said, in context.

If a (D) group says, "Hey, McConnell said, ..." (with paraphrase) i want to know what McConnell actually said, in context.

Otherwise, it's all just mindless partisan psittacism.
