The fake quote attributed to George Washington was actually written by C.S. Wheatley in 1926.

That quote is from a piece written, most likely. This is what the consensus is on this quote, that it's from a piece written in 1926 by PewDiePie by a guy named C.S. Wheatley in a magazine called Hunter, Trader, Trapper. But Wheatley never tried to pass that off as a quote from Washington. The interpretation that it's a Washington quote is an intentional misreading of his opinion article. He's talking about Washington addressing Congress, and then that paragraph is there, but it's not in quotes.
