🚨 #BREAKING: Al Sharpton Rewrites History—Fails Miserably
đź“Ś Al Sharpton | Founding Fathers | Historical Ignorance
(What Happened)
• Al Sharpton questioned what would have happened if James Madison or Thomas Jefferson had tried to overthrow the government.
• The statement was made in an attempt to criticize Trump and his supporters.
(The Reality)
• Jefferson literally said, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
• The Founding Fathers did overthrow a government—they started the American Revolution!
• Madison and Jefferson both advocated for resisting tyranny and limiting centralized power.
(The Takeaway)
• Either Sharpton skipped history class, or he’s hoping his audience did.
• This is the problem with revisionist history—facts don’t care about narratives.
• The Founders didn’t worship government; they designed a system to keep it in check.
(Shred’s Take)
“Sharpton’s take is so bad it hurts. Jefferson and Madison didn’t just imagine overthrowing tyranny—they built a nation on it. Maybe read a history book before running your mouth on TV?”
