In April 2016, the Facebook page Patriot Nation posted an image of comedian Jeff Foxworthy along with the following quote about Syrian refugees entering the United States: While the quote loosely follows the same structure as Foxworthy's famous you might be a redneck jokes, this quote did not originate with the comedian. Foxworthy's signature joke structure is easily imitated, and has been pilfered by several partisan groups over the years in order to spread their political opinions to a larger audience. In 2010, a series of you may be a Muslim jokes were falsely attributed to the comedian. Foxworthy was also not responsible for a series of jokes with the punchline you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots, which started circulating in 2013. As with the above-displayed quote, there was no evidence linking the comedian to any of these jokes.
