Slavery Investigation Backfires on Mainstream Media – Every Living President Except Trump Descended from Slaveholders

In another hilarious self-own by the legacy media, a new investigation found that former President Donald Trump — whom the corporate press incessantly attacked as “racist” — is the only living U.S. president to not have slave-owning ancestors.

Five of the past six living U.S. presidents — including the nation’s first black president, Barack Obama — are descended from slave owners, according to a bombshell Reuters exposé published Tuesday.

“In researching the genealogies of America’s political elite, a Reuters examination found that a fifth of the nation’s congressmen, living presidents, Supreme Court justices and governors are direct descendants of ancestors who enslaved Black people,” the outlet reported.

At least 100 of the 536 members of the last sitting Congress descend from slaveholders, it said.

Of that group, more than 25 percent of the Senate had at least one slaveholder in their family tree.

Black and white lawmakers alike descended from slave owners.

“In addition, President Joe Biden and every living former U.S. president — except Donald Trump — are direct descendants of slaveholders: Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and — through his white mother’s side — Barack Obama,” Reuters reported.

Trump’s ancestors never owned slaves because they immigrated to the United States in 1885 after slavery was abolished.

Meanwhile, Biden’s great-great-great-grandfather owned two slaves, while another great-great-great-grandfather enslaved a 14-year-old boy, according to a 2021 genealogical analysis published by Politico.

Ironically, while the Reuters report singled out several Republican lawmakers over their family trees, its silence concerning the slave-owning lineage of Vice President Kamala Harris is deafening.

Perhaps this is because Harris’ ancestors reportedly owned slaves in Jamaica and not the United States.

Some in the legacy media were probably gleefully hoping to uncover the dark, slave-owning lineage of Trump’s ancestors, only to come up empty-handed in their latest race-baiting quest.

Many Twitter users mocked Reuters, with some saying its “awkward” investigation “backfired.”

That was probably idiot Biden’s favorite.

A stupid study to arrive at a stupid result. As racist and oppressive as Democrats are today, whether or not their ancestors owned slaves has no bearing on it. Slavery is, thankfully, long gone (though Democrats would love to revive it) and all links to it are tenuous. However, it does, once again, set Trump above the others.

New comes the unpleasant surprise for those scoundrels from the M.S. Media as the truth suddenly hits them like a sack full of Bricks This just gets better as the walls close in on the M.S. Media bottom feeders
