>> According to Jean-Jacques Rousseau, when she was told the people did not have bread, her reply was: “Let them eat cake.” <<

What’s the purpose of continuing to teach this nonsensical slander?

The other trite lie is many political prisoners were freed in the storming celebrated today. A couple of forgers and five scumbags of whom one was insane. No political prisoners at all.

What Marie Antoinette really said was "Let them eat cake and ice cream!"

(I learned that from a Far Side cartoon.)

That slander was an old one, told of other figures before Marie Antoinette was even born.
