The one guy that tweeted the dumbest thing admitted that good journalism taught him something.

Well done.

That's funny. Do so few people know the Declaration of Independence that they actually freaked out? That is just too weird. The use of language is a tip off that it's not modern.

To the credit of one of the commenters in the Twitter feed who freaked out, he did apologize and own up to his mistake and decided to leave his Tweet there.

That being said, watching this go down live was a sight to behold.
