This kind of playing the ref is a pet peeve of mine.
Everyone makes mistakes, But if the New York Times published that someone was calling on Biden to drop out, and that wasn’t the case, the mischaracterized politician would ask for a correction, and would get it.
As for the specific example of yours I quoted above, this is from Rep. Brad Schneider, who also said, in the same statement:
Taken literally, this sounds like a call to resign. But I cannot find the full original statement, and so am not sure. It certainly is a call to drop out of the presidential race.
