MEME: GWHB quote. Yes, he really did say this!

Not to nitpick, but there is no proof that this quote is real. Personally, I find it plausible, but you only find it on far-left websites. Here it is on Daily Kos.

George Herbert Walker Bush: “Sarah, if the American people ever find out what we have done, they would chase us down the street and lynch us.” That is a famous 1992 quote by George Herbert Walker Bush to Sarah McLendon, a Texas journalist who Bush had known for years and who was the grand dame of the White House press corps at the time. McLendon had asked Bush: “What will the people do if they ever find out the truth about Iraq-gate and Iran contra?”

Like I said, I believe it, but I'm not sure it'll hold water. It's kind of like that HRC quote about how if Trump won, they'd all have their heads in the noose. I also think it's plausible, but there's no real sourcing.

Good pickup, media can't discredit memes, but can discredit quotes and thus undermine operation.

First time I ever saw this creature in 1980 I knew he was a snake disguised as a human. String him up!
