Americans Don’t Know Who Washington D.C. is Named After!!! (An entertaining, but depressing, 4 1/2 minute video)
youtube ^ | 3/7/2016 | Mark Dice

Posted on 12/22/2021 9:59:43 AM PST by Signalman

What historical figure is the city of Washington D.C. named after? That SHOULD be common sense, right? Well, not anymore. Media analyst Mark Dice asks random beachgoers in San Diego who our nation's Capital is named after and you'll see their answers are sad and shocking. Many Americans are getting dumber by the day. You better wake up before it's too late.

Tell people Lincoln was a Republican and watch their heads explode. This is the truth.

Duh. Washington Delano Carver.

I watched one yesterday. The guy asked some lady to name a character in Tom Sawyer. She couldn’t do it.

It’s either Denzel or Booker T. I hate pop quizzes.

Cliff Clavin: “Contrary to popular belief, Washington D.C. acquired its name from Jedediah Washington, the colonial-era haberdasher who supplied the uniforms for the Revolutionary Army.”

I learned that from a song they used to play on “Captain Kangaroo.”. Of course, the Captain is long gone and people no longer have any way of learning common knowledge. /s
