  • On 10 October 2016, an entertainment Facebook group called Stop the World, the Teabaggers Want Off published a meme featuring an image of Michele Bachmann alongside the text of something she supposedly said about the Columbus Day holiday: This is not a real quote from the former Republican congresswoman (and presidential candidate). Stop the World, the Teabaggers Want Off is an entertainment Facebook group that frequently creates fake quotes mocking politicians; Bachmann is apparently one of their favorite targets, as the group has attributed several fake quotes to the former United States representative, including one saying that China kept illegal Mexicans out of their country by building the Great Wall of China. Columbus Day has become an increasingly controversial holiday, as more cities adopt measures to change the name and focus of the holiday to Indigenous Peoples' Day in celebration of the millions who lived on the American continents before their discovery by European explorers.
