Gibson misquoted Clinton on civil rights
Published
John Gibson, purporting to quote Sen. Hillary Clinton verbatim, actually misquoted her comment on the passage of civil rights legislation in the 1960s. Gibson stated: “Clinton is being attacked by [Sen. Barack] Obama for recently saying that the legendary Martin Luther King's dream of equality was one only -- quote, 'only realized when President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act.' ” In fact, Clinton did not use the word “only.”
