Nixon did not say, "I am not a crook." What he actually said was, "Your President is not a crook." I know, it's a minor quibble, but I think it matters. Paraphrasing is a waste of time with the MAGATs. If you throw that quote at them, the more intelligent of them will ask you to cite a source. When you can't find a direct quote, they will cry, "Fake News", and you will be left with no leg on which to stand. Accuracy is paramount when dealing with these people.
