You are correct and I was wrong about the founding fathers. I have updated my comment to say "some of America's greatest leaders". Which is correct.

No, it is not correct. That tweet is clearly being deceptive by listing their ages when the revolution started in 1776, which is largely irrelevant for these four and when they were impactful to the country. At minimum it should list their age when the US Constitution was ratified, which was 13 years later, in 1789.

Also, you consider Aaron Burr one of America's greatest leaders? He literally committed treason.

Yes, but that's largely because he was arrested before his plot could be implemented.

In any case, viewing Burr as one of the "greatest leaders" of America is absurdly out of step with historical consensus.

OJ was acquitted, too.

Yes, you can always make your statement more vague to make it more "correct".
