Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) doesn’t appear to know much about history, as she’s being called out for a recent post.
The controversial representative meant to post on X, formerly Twitter, July 5 a patriotic blurb about the ages of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence, per the HuffPost.
But what seemed innocuous on the surface opened Greene to get schooled in basic history.
“The average age of the signers of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 was 44 years old, but more than a dozen were 35 or younger,” she wrote.
She listed eight names and their ages:
The only problem was six of the eight listed were wrong, as a community note pointed out: “James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, James Monroe, Aaron Burr, Paul Revere, and George Washington were not signers of the Declaration of Independence.”
