The Ed Rollings quote where Rollins quotes Mary Matalin is hearsay. This would never pass muster in a court of law, and hearsay shouldn't have any place on Wikipedia; it serves to call into question Wikipedia's veracity and supposed non-biased stance. 2601:987:200:5130:C554:58AF:74B4:620F (talk) 22:55, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not a court of law, nor do we follow the standards of a court of law. The quote is reliably sourced, so there's no doubts to the veracity of Wikipedia here. Nor are we biased in presenting a reliably sourced statement. If you want to argue that it does not belong on this page, you're going to need a better argument. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:01, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
