Before “Buchanan casts the race as a "religious and cultural war" for "the soul of America."”
After “Buchanan describes a "religious war" and "cultural war" for "the soul of America."”
Why it was flagged
This presents 'religious and cultural war' as a single quoted phrase, but per the file's own frontmatter description and cited sources, Buchanan's actual language was two separate statements ('there is a religious war going on in this country' and, separately, 'it is a cultural war... for the soul of America'). Merging them into one quoted phrase misrepresents the verbatim wording of the speech.
What was done
Confirmed against the cited American Yawp Reader text (https://www.americanyawp.com/reader/29-the-triumph-of-the-right/pat-buchanan-on-the-culture-war-1992/): the speech says "There is a religious war going on in this country. It is a cultural war, as critical to the kind of nation we shall be as the Cold War itself. For this war is for the soul of America." The combined phrase "religious and cultural war" does not appear. Rewrote the summary line to quote each term separately, as spoken.
