Physicist and host of TV’s Cosmos, Neil DeGrasse Tyson tweeted what he called a more truthful version of Pledge of Allegiance on Thursday setting off an eruption of angry tweets.

The new pledge that Tyson suggested is as such,

“I pledge allegiance, to the Flag of the Divided States of America. And to the PACs, for which it stands, one Nation, at odds, divisible, with Liberty and Justice for some.”

Of course, those immediately upset over this tweet are the people it applies to the most.

@neiltyson you make Ralph Wiggum look like Einstein. Maybe stick to junk science & making up Bush quotes, eh? — Accidental Librarian (@CrystalDawn0603) April 2, 2015

Don’t forget the religious nuts!

@neiltyson shows how much we need God’s kingdom to take over. True peace and hope. It’s the only way. http://t.co/x0R1cDXyih bible truth — Walter W. Welle (@WalterWelle) April 2, 2015

Obviously anytime a public figure who is not directly involved in politics makes any sort of political statement, correct or not it brings out the worst of the Internet’s trolls demanding the accuser be silenced.

But in reality, Tyson couldn’t be more correct at this nation is more divided than ever and PAC’s and major corporations are running the show.

What makes these tweets to Tyson so angry is that he is correct and throwing this corporate conservative nonsense back in their faces.
