Don't get me wrong : an academic citation pointing to a statement made by a politician is a citation to a fact : that a certain politician claimed a certain something on a certain date at a certain place.
But it is not a proof that anything the politician said in reference to the external world is in anyway true.
This may (or may not) shock you about politicians and truth-telling.
It might shock (some of) you about the credulity of academics.
