    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene @RepMTG

    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

    Readers added context they thought people might want to know

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

    That lady is unable to perform the sort of research/due diligence common
    at the 5th grade level, apparently.

    No wonder Americans elected her.

    She does have a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), but this
    does not include reasoning skills, nor an awareness of historical
    events/etc. She has mimicking skills but without understanding the consequences of her speech. Another egocentric 'thinker'
