Ah, yes, the Declaration of Independence. It's probably the most important document in American history.
Well, Marjorie Taylor Greene is once again going viral for tweeting something that wasn't, well, real.

In case you didn't notice, six of the eight people she posted didn't actually sign the Declaration of Independence.
Well, needless to say, people are having a field day with this post.
