Twitter often has some of the best comedy on social media, but when you are looking for a real laugh try this hashtag, #ThingsLincolnDidntSay — you will thank me when you do. People’s imaginations, and politically pointed one-liners, have been piqued by this awesome tag.
It seems that no one is safe from the ribbing, not even Lincoln himself, but especially not the GOP candidates, like Cruz, Trump, and Carson. Let the lampooning begin!
Even John Fugelsang, Twitter aficionado, got into the fun:
Jeez, Mary, I need to see a play like I need a hole in the head. #ThingsLincolnDidntSay
