Grossman said, "This report skillfully weaves together myths, distortions, deliberate silences, and both blatant and subtle misreading of evidence to create a narrative and an argument that few respectable professional historians, even across a wide interpretive spectrum, would consider plausible, never mind convincing."

Historian Alexis Coe, a biographer of George Washington, said the report was riddled with "errors, distortions, and outright lies" and mischaracterized Washington's involvement with slavery. Kevin M.

Wilentz described the report as "the flip side of those polemics" and "basically a political document" that "reduces history to hero worship". Historians also noted that portions of the report had been copied without attribution from earlier writings by its authors, including a 2008 op-ed by Thomas Lindsay published in Inside Higher Ed and a 2002 Heritage Foundation essay and Intercollegiate Studies Institute essay by Matthew Spalding, the commission's executive director. Commentator Eugene Scott criticized the commission's report for suggesting "that identity politics is something unique to those outside of the Trump administration"; Scott writes that Trump's rhetoric and Trumpism "has been rooted in identity politics": specifically, a prioritization of demographic groups that are "largely White, Christian and appealing to traditional gender norms".Eugene Scott https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/19/1776-report-attacks-concept-foundation-trump-presidency-identity-politics/ The 1776 Project report attacks a concept at the foundation of the Trump presidency: 'Identity politics' The Washington Post January 19, 2021 Eugene Scott (journalist) Writing for Slate, Rebecca Onion described the report as "a screed forwarded by a Fox-poisoned aunt, one that might best be politely ignored" and noted historian Diana Butler Bass's fear that the report was "'a huge gift' to white evangelical Trump supporters, who have long taught this vision of history to children who are enrolled in Christian schools or home-schooled."Onion Rebecca Trump's "1776 Report" Would Be Funny If It Weren't So Dangerous https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/01/1776-report-trump-american-history.html Slate January 19, 2021 Jeff Sharlet of Vanity Fair compared the report's section on identity politics to Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik's justification for the 2011 Norway attacks in his manifesto 2083: A European Declaration of Independence.Sharlet Jeff January 19, 2021 Vanity Fair The "1776 Report" Is Trump's Last Gasp of State-Sponsored Hate https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/01/the-1776-report-is-trumps-last-gasp-of-state-sponsored-hate Commission members Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Gonzalez defended the report.
