That is not how quotation marks are designed to work.

The words offered up as a quote are meant to represent the views of the person being quoted. In this instance that is clearly not the case.

This is a perfect example of how quotes can be used to misrepresented a view.

To be fair, they used `>` to quote the article, and then included the article's `"` to indicate that the article itself quoted someone else.
