For three decades, National Public Radio has held a Fourth of July tradition (http://www.npr.org/2017/07/04/534096579/a-july-4th-tradition-the-declaration-of-independence-read-aloud) of having its hosts and newscasters read the country's founding document aloud on air. This year, NPR took to Twitter to put forth a text version as well, but amidst a backdrop of political turmoil and bickering, it wasn't received in quite the way one might expect.To be fair, the majority of Twitter users appreciated the **d to America's history and found it even more resonant today than ever before. But a large group of Trump supporters appeared to be alarmingly unfamiliar with the the Declaration of Independence, instead taking the public broadcaster's words as a call for revolution and accusing them of inciting violence - seemingly unaware of the patriotic nature of the tweetstorm itself.
In Congress, July 4, 1776.

When Thomas Jefferson penned the Declaration of Independence 300 years ago, you can bet he wasn't thinking about what hyperpartisan Twitter users might mistake it for in 2017. But boy, was that reaction something to behold - and we've pulled together some of the most incredible reactions below.
NPR tweeted out the entire Declaration of Independence, and wow... uh... the responses are... something. pic.twitter.com/KurdVurRgW (https://t.co/KurdVurRgW)

Since trump fans didn't k**w what Declaration of Independence was and cited NPR for treason for tweeting it, will they call DofI fake news?

Incredible. You may be on the wrong side of history if you think the #Declaratio**fIndependence (https://twitter.com/hashtag/Declaratio**fIndependence?src=hash) is describing #Trump (https://twitter.com/hashtag/Trump?src=hash) & then call it "trash". pic.twitter.com/lB2aO5sCbx (https://t.co/lB2aO5sCbx)

The MAGAs saw this and were outraged that @NPR (https://twitter.com/NPR) was tweeting shade at Trump. It wasn't. It was tweeting the Declaration of Independence. https://t.co/xBjlQserwE
