Al Sharpton is not exactly a MENSA candidate by the stretch of anyone’s imagination. He is, after all, the one-trick race-baiting pony who gave us legendary commentary in the form of ‘Resist we much.’

But a resurfaced take on the Founding Fathers trying to overthrow a tyrannical federal government is truly something to behold.

Sharpton, appearing on the only show on which he seems intelligent by comparison to the hosts, Morning Joe, revealed the depth of his ignorance about American history.

How? By imagining the outrage there would be if the Founding Fathers attempted to overthrow a tyrannical government. You know, like they actually did!

Al Sharpton Asks: Can you imagine if James Madison or Thomas Jefferson tried to overthrow the government?
