Fake Jefferson on the Constitution
“The greatest danger to American freedom is a government that ignores the constitution,” the Conservative Coalition of North Carolina said, in a quote posted to Facebook and attributed to the third president.
As USA Today points out, the earliest known use of this quote in print is from a 2015 book called The Phantom of the Hungry Hollow by D.H. Reid and Ginger Reid-Parker, but online instances of it go as far back as 2004.
