'Stop electing stupid people': Rage as Marjorie Taylor Greene flunks American history test

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is in hot water for getting two out of eight people correct when listing individuals who signed the Declaration of Independence.

Greene, who earlier in the day was hit with a flurry of criticism for falsely claiming that Donald Trump won her state of Georgia in 2020, recently posted about the ages of those who signed the Declaration of Independence.

"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: Thomas Jefferson: 33 John Hancock: 39 James Madison: 25 Alexander Hamilton: 21 James Monroe: 18 Aaron Burr: 20 Paul Revere: 41 George Washington: 44," the lawmaker wrote.

Greene was hit with a fact check from the social media site X, formerly known as Twitter.

"James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, James Monroe, Aaron Burr, Paul Revere, and George Washington were not signers of the Declaration of Independence," it states.

The site's users also chimed in to correct the representative.

STOP ELECTING STUPID PEOPLE

@MamaSissieSays, reportedly a retired government teacher, said, "Marjorie Taylor Greene being completely wrong about history (AGAIN) aside… Claiming that the average age of the signers of the Declaration of Independence was 44 is NOT a flex when the Founders life expectancy was only 64 years."
