If @repjoecrowley says he didn't say it - point blank, no qualifications - I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. I would for you, too. @theintercept and @ryangrim should clarify. They're reported as "he said" direct quotes. I personally that's ethically problematic.

The host did not directly quote Crowley, according to the story, as it's published now. There is no source for this: “I can’t help that I was born white,” Crowley said. You just state it. It needs some clarification as written. Surely, Crowley's direct denial should be at top.

Let’s pretend he didn’t say it that night. Crowley’s office connected me with the event host, a Crowley supporter, who said that he HAD made comments just like that in the past. So how is that any different? And he is also on record.
