the Washington Post:
Quote:
In 1987, Ronald Reagan’s secretary of the Treasury, James Baker, warned of “unprecedented and catastrophic repercussions” if Congress failed to lift the debt ceiling. His boss agreed. “This country cannot be allowed to default on its financial obligations for the first time in history,” Reagan warned. “This would be unthinkable.”

Reagan said, “This country cannot be allowed to default on its financial obligations for the first time in history...This would be unthinkable.”
How is quoting someone's words verbatim, misleading?
