Like the rat division of New York City’s health department, a fact checker's job is (often) repetitive—while there is more than one way to kill a rat, the result is still a dead rat—and never, ever finished.

The Facebook page “Republican Patriotic Party”—touting a very "on-brand" Jon McNaughton painting as its cover photo—posted a meme of New Jersey senator Cory Booker and the attributed quote: “We’re sick and tired of the Constitution sitting in the National Archives, manipulating everything we do.”

Some Facebook users correctly noted that the fake quote originated on the Christian-satire website Babylon Bee, from the article “Senate Democrats Demand Supreme Court Nominee Not Be Unduly Influenced By U.S. Constitution”:

“We’re sick and tired of the Constitution sitting in the National Archives, manipulating everything we do,” stated Senator Cory Booker, trying to emote for the cameras but failing. Booker then called a ten-minute recess for him to refresh his supply of fake tears before he could continue.

Many in the comment section were either skeptical of the quote’s validity or pointed to the Babylon Bee article. But the majority swallowed it hook, line, and sinker.

“[Booker] needs to be brought up on charges of treason,” one user suggested. Others were a tad more practical. “New Jersey, please help our country, by voting this man out!! God Bless New Jersey!”

The ceaseless extermination continues.
