Sometimes even a fascist speaks the truth. CONTEXT MATTERS
You mean like the fact that they're a fascist and deliberately speaking in half-truths to create a distorted narrative?
For instance, suppose I told you that this quote was written decades ago and predicted the current Trump administration:
CW: quote from fascist
I wouldn't actually do that though, because this is a cherry-picked excerpt from Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf. Context like the fact that it was literally Adolf Hitler saying something antisemitic matters.
Oh, you mean like this guy:
Just because a fascist might sometimes be capable of being a broken clock, that doesn't mean one should ever be quoted or given any kind of "credit" for their rare broken-clock take. Yes, context absolutely does matter, and in the case where the context includes fascism, that itself informs us that we should be especially careful the fascist receives no praise or endorsement of any kind. It really is not hard to make sure you never hand it to them.
You do not in fact, have to "hand it to" the broken clock.
