Origin On Jan. 7, 2021, a lengthy piece of text urging Americans to “wake up” was widely circulated on social media along with the claim that it had been penned by radio host Dave Ramsey. Scott Baio, a conservative pundit best known for playing Chachi on the 1970s sitcom “Happy Days,” was one social media user who misattributed this text to Ramsey: But this post was not written by Ramsey. The radio host posted a message to Facebook on Jan. 7 to clarify that he did not author this post: In addition to Ramsey’s denial, we found versions of this text posted on the internet as far back as October 2020. At the time, Ramsey was not credited as the author.
