evidence: Sen Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) is coming under fire for a Fourth of July tweet that managed to include both a false claim and a false quote at the same time. Hawley tweeted a quote he claimed to be from Founding Father Patrick Henry saying the United States was founded "on the Gospel of Jesus Christ." Just one problem: Henry ― a slave owner perhaps best remembered for his "give me liberty or give me death" quote ― never said it. It was late in the afternoon on the Fourth of July holiday when the Missouri Republican published this tweet — which, as of this morning, has not been taken down — with a purported quote from Patrick Henry, a prominent figure from late-18th century Virginia. "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ," the quote read. "For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here."
