Quoth the Internet. “The problem with quotes found on the Internet is they are often not true,” Abraham Lincoln supposedly said at least a hundred years before the Internet was invented. Truer words were never not spoken.
Fabricated quotes attributed to famous people, politicians, or important historical figures are among the most common hoaxes (and jokes) shared online. There are literally dozens of examples in our archive, from which we’ve selected a few of the most flagrant ones for your edification and enjoyment:
Dumb Republicans. Did Donald Trump say Republicans are the “dumbest group of voters”? The current United States president supposedly made the remark during a 1998 “People” magazine interview. (False <https://snopescom.cmail20.com/t/j-l-niyddn-jrhddyhdw-k/>)
Dumberer Democrats. Did Hillary Clinton say Democratic voters are stupid? Hillary Clinton was supposedly quoted saying Democratic voters are “stupid” and "easy to manipulate" in a book by Dick Morris. (False <https://snopescom.cmail20.com/t/j-l-niyddn-jrhddyhdw-u/>)
Terrorist empathizer. Did President Obama say “Even terrorists have rights and we should respect them”? The quote originated on a clickbait website. (False <https://snopescom.cmail20.com/t/j-l-niyddn-jrhddyhdw-o/>)
Arms make the citizen. Did George Washington want citizens armed against the government? Founding Father George Washington allegedly advocated citizens having "sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence" from their own government. (False <https://snopescom.cmail20.com/t/j-l-niyddn-jrhddyhdw-b/>)
Generation of idiots. Did Einstein say "I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction,” leaving the world with “a generation of idiots”? The cautionary statement about the dangers technology may pose to humanity was first attributed to the renowned physicist in 2012. (False <https://snopescom.cmail20.com/t/j-l-niyddn-jrhddyhdw-n/>)
Rumor Rundown
Swift justice. Did President Trump say pedophiles will get the death penalty? In a 2012 tweet, Donald Trump called for a "fast trial, death penalty" for "perverts" who abduct children. (Mixture <https://snopescom.cmail20.com/t/j-l-niyddn-jrhddyhdw-p/>)
Ahem. Did a Portland art gallery display an artwork depicting president Trump’s throat being slit? The controversial artwork was removed from the gallery's window after the business received numerous threats over it. (True <https://snopescom.cmail20.com/t/j-l-niyddn-jrhddyhdw-x/>)
