@CavistonJoe It was a paraphrase, not a quote. Lara Trump compressed Lincoln's 148 words down to just 22, but her paraphrase nevertheless accurately reflected Lincoln's meaning.
So what? Her speech was only 1/3 the length of Lincoln's, so she had to be concise. Brevity is the soul of wit.
@CavistonJoe It would have been better if Lara had said, "Paraphrasing Lincoln," instead of "Lincoln said." Big deal.
How ironic that Democrats, who lie outrageously about nearly everything, fuss about THAT… and on TWITTER!
@CavistonJoe Come back and complain about an accurate paraphrase by a Republican, when Democrats stop pretending that America is racist, that policemen are evil, and that Trump is to blame for Democratic governors' and mayors' even worse mishandling of the epidemic.
@CavistonJoe And come back and complain about an accurate paraphrase by a Republican, when Democrats stop promoting an imaginary "climate emergency" in the face of compelling scientific evidence that manmade climate change is modest and benign, and CO2 is beneficial.
@CavistonJoe Here are Lincoln's 148 words:

It is obviously an accurate paraphrase.
