Tip:
We all make that same error, especially when Quotation Marks are missing.
Even when you lead with the source, as you did, but used no Quotation Marks for the body of the text, it sometimes can and does appear to the eye of we speed readers that with no Quotation Marks for the body of the text, it does look like it’s the poster writing.
We usually realize that’s what has happened, and simply reply to the error poster to clarify that “It was not I, but so and so that I was quoting”. You usually get a quick apology and move on.
Just sayin’. Quotation Marks are our friend in this fast moving FR thread/comment format.
For sure, this is not like reading a novel around here, you know what I mean? LOL!

Profile in Courage:
Josh Hawley has given no indication he is considering leaving office.
“Some wondered why I stuck with my objection following the violence at the Capitol,” wrote Hawley, the first senator to announce he would object to the electoral results.
“The reason is simple: I will not bow to a lawless mob, or allow criminals to drown out the legitimate concerns of my constituents.
“These are difficult days for our country,” he wrote. “All I can promise you is that I will do my best, day in and day out, to represent your voice, no matter who criticizes me. And I will do my utmost to preserve, protect, and defend this republic that we call home.”
