15 verified Twitter accounts that owe Ben Carson an apology over Constitution 'flub'

Did you hear about Ben Carson’s latest misstep? Twitter was abuzz yesterday with a report that he had badly mangled Thomas Jefferson’s role in crafting the Constitution. Carson said that Jefferson, “tried to craft our Constitution in a way that it would control people’s natural tendencies” while his critics suggested Jefferson was in France at the time and had nothing to do with the document.

Oh really?

Here’s USA Today Deputy Editorial Page Editor David Mastio with a little history lesson:

Whoops.

We did a quick search and found 15 verified Twitter accounts that need to apologize to Carson, but there are a lot more:
