Nikki Haley's Misinformed Presidents' Day Tweet

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and the United States ambassador to the UN under Donald Trump, posted a series of tweets celebrating Presidents’ Day. She probably should have stopped to fact-check her alternate reality history lesson, though, since the end result ended up being riddled with errors.

Here’s what Haley posted:

As historian and George Washington biographer Alexis Coe described the tweet to CNN, that is “280 characters and a whole lot of errors.”

The most glaring error is that Washington did not oversee the creation of the Constitution as president because he didn’t become president until two years after the Constitution was written. It was the Constitution that created the role of the president so it would have been pretty hard to do it the other way around.

That’s not the only error in Haley’s tweet, though. Washington’s troops were far from “unstoppable” and in fact, Washington lost more battles than he won. If not for the help of the French, those “ragtag troops” would have been sunk.
