Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene spent the Fourth of July weekend getting barbecued after boldly declaring that several people who did not sign the Declaration of Independence were signers of America’s most well-known document.
Among those Greene incorrectly claimed as signers of the Declaration of Independence was Alexander Hamilton, the subject of an extremely famous Broadway musical about his life prior to and after helping craft and sign the Constitution in 1787—more than a decade after the Declaration of Independence was adopted . In addition, Hamilton was 19 when the Declaration of Independence was signed, not 21 like Greene stated.
It’s unclear where Greene got this information, what prompted her to post it, or why, days after making it, she hasn’t taken it down or corrected it. One user mused that were Greene to have to take a citizenship test , as all immigrants to the United States seeking citizenship must do, she would likely fail, while others wondered how a sitting member of Congress could be so brazenly ill informed about U.S. history.
Other users skewered Greene by building on her list of signers detached from reality, adding names like Karl Marx, Gandalf, Kermit the Frog, and Beethoven.
Only two of the people Greene named actually signed the Declaration of Independence: Thomas Jefferson, who wrote it , and John Hancock, who was the first to sign it. Here’s the full list of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and here’s an explainer about the differences between the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution.

Come on haters , she got 2 out of 8 correct. That is a good batting average for her.
I bet she knows how to operate a garbage disposal.
Most rational and sane people ignore the ignorant prattle of idiots like MTG and AOC.
You forgot Boebert and Goetz. I personally cannot wait to see all the above named losers voted out of office. They are nothing but deadbeat deadweight in the House.
So is that why you just mentioned them?
Most people are unaware of it, but Methuselah was actually 969 years old when he signed the Constitution!
Methuselah's name has become synonymous with longevity, and he has been portrayed and referenced in film, television and music.
I actually saw him during his first TV appearance. He was on The Ed Sullivan show-- if I recall that was long ago-- TV was still only Black & Whites-- it was before Donald Trump invented colour TV!
Didn't her mother sign the Declaration of Independence? I wonder how old she was.
According to sources, the average life expectancy in 1776 was about 35-38 years old.
