Snopes uses the term "Correct attribution" for fact checks like this. They aren't reviewing the accuracy of the statement, only that they did, in fact, say it.
I would encourage similar terminology here. It may not always be clear if you're analyzing the claim or the quote.
- Good advice, as reading this back it could be read as saying the sentiment was true instead of the attribution. Thanks.
