We hold these truths to be Girls in the Night Trafficself evident: don't mess with NPR.
It's not like the company is above criticism. But there should be nothing less controversial than for the station to do what they did on Tuesday, and tweet out the Declaration of Independence for the Fourth of July.
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Alas, some Trump supporters who were seemingly unfamiliar with the historic declaration, took offense on Twitter.
And thus, an internet controversy was born.
Blind partisanship and a deep-seated distrust of NPR appears to have made some supporters lash out at the station for tweeting out a document that was last controversial in, um, 1776.
They saw the tweets as being anti-Trump, not anti-tyrannical dead King.
Just take a look for yourself.
