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.

Going to guess somebody who did a ton of washing?

Who’s buried in Grant’s Tomb?.........................

[Bob434]

the dopes don’t even know it was named after George Washington Carver. Sheesh- don’t anyone know geography any more?

[C210N]

Obviously, after AC/DC.

Not sure though about the Washington part.

Who’s buried in Grant’s Tomb?.........................

I got it, I got it!

Robert E. Lee

Even sadder since there are 2 acceptable answers to this question and both of them are household names.

[SkyDancer]

Nobody. It’s not a tomb. It’s a mausoleum.

“asks random beachgoers in San Diego”

Many many years ago (85) I was visiting San Fran, a guy asked me where I was from. I said Maryland. He said, oh is that anywhere near San Diego?

[BiteYourSelf]

Wasn’t it named after the guy who invented the peanut?😏

[ConservativeInPA]

bLM told me it was Booker T. Washington.

[Skywise]

DC was, like, a rapper - right?

You better wake up before it's too late.

Uh, NEWSFLASH: It's way too late.

this is what we put up with every day....stupid, unaware, shallow people just plodding thru life without a clue....

[Robert DeLong]

I was so sure the guy with the I Love DC t-shirt was going to know who the nation’s capitol was named after, NYET.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

C’mon! They haven’t heard of Denzel?

[Ruger1099]

Who’s the old guy on the dollar bill?

[Dick Bachert]

I doubt any in here recall D.W. Griffith's iconic early film “Birth of a Nation”. I'm pulling together a script for a video to be called “DEATH of a Nation” and would appreciate your help compiling a list of the events that have led us to the impending end of America. Thank you.

[CodeToad]

Well, D.C. has a new name but I can’t post it.

[PROCON]

The Washington Post, duh.
