"Last Week Tonight" host John Oliver called out GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson for misquoting Thomas Jefferson after the mass shooting on Oregon's Umpqua Community College campus. Carson was not the only candidate to misquote a historical politician in the past, President Obama, Regan and Clinton were all also guilty of misquoting Abraham Lincoln. In order to put a stop to misquoting founding fathers, Oliver and his staff made a website called DefinitelyRealQuotes.com. The website allows users to generate random and legitimate-sounding quotation even though they were never said.
"With just a few minutes of photo shopping, you can make it plausible that anyone said anything," Oliver told the audience. "For instance, did you know Alexander Hamilton once said 'I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to win.'"
