ZitatSen. Cory Booker appears to have a bright future ahead of him as a mainstream media hack, as he took to Twitter with what he thought was a quote from Benamin Franklin in an effort to attack President Donald Trump, but appears not to be a Franklin quote at all.
Booker tweeted Monday morning: “‘It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority.’ Benjamin Franklin.”

But the Daily Caller News Foundation reached out to Dr. Blaine McCormick, chair of the Department of Management at Baylor University as well as a Franklin scholar, to find out if the quote was authentic.
McCormick made it perfectly clear that the quote was a “hoax” and not “a valid Franklin quote.”
