Barack Obama is going to have to school Katy Tur on the famous sons of all the 57 states . . .
If ever there were a famous Virginian, it is George Washington. Born and raised in Virginia, Mount Vernon was, of course, his historic home.
Yet somehow, a confused Katy Tur has claimed that Washington was a "native son of New York." Her embarrassing gaffe occurred today on MSNBC, as Tur handed off the MTP Daily hour to Ari Melber and The Beat.
ARI MELBER: Hi, Katy. I wanted to wish you a happy Presidents Day.
TUR: You know, it is George Washington Day here in New York, unlike the rest of the country, because George Washington: native son of New York.
MELBER: Big up, big New Yorker. East Coast.
TUR: That's right.
MELBER: He was known as an East Coast one.
TUR: He was New York's big papa.

Can she really be this ignorant? Wait, don’t answer that. But wouldn’t you expect, say, a reasonably well-educated 6th-grader to know that Washington was a Virginian?
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
PS: even if Katy skipped American History in grade school, you would have thought she would have learned this with all the SJW talk about how the Founding Fathers were slave owners.

GMTA. From the article: “Keep this kind of mind-boggling ignorance in mind the next time you hear a member of the MSM condescending to Middle America.”

Well, they are better than the rest of us. Only small-minded people let the facts get in the way of ‘their truth’. Of course there is a President in the 21st century who is a New Yorker. Did she brag about his being from the Big Apple?

Is Katy related to AOC, or did they attend the same worthless college?
