In celebration of July 4th and American independence, the official Twitter account of the Republican Party decided to send out a happy birthday message to the United States.
But they used the flag of Liberia instead of the U.S. flag.
The GOP message read:
“247 years ago, our forefathers told Ol’ King George to get lost! Happy Independence Day from the GOP!”
Yes, that is indeed the Liberian flag.
Granted, the stripes are the same, but Liberia is 49 stars short of the U.S. flag.
The GOP later deleted the tweet, but not before the mockery had already begun on social media.
