the fact that a direct quote doesn't exist doesn't mean that it wasn't the sentiment at the time.

The fact that it was the sentiment at the time is one thing, but it doesn't make attributing a quote to someone who didn't say it right or correct, even if it goes in the way of the general sentiment, even if that someone did agree with said sentiment.
