I found it amusing today when the corrupt media decided to ask Turtle McConnell about his ancestors owning slaves and if he is for reparations. This same scumbag media had nothing to say about great-great-great-great-grandparents owned at least 20 slaves. Michelle Obama’s family also owned slaves and unshockingly the media never asked “her” about that either.
I’m no fan of McConnell, in fact, I really can’t stand the guy, but the pitiful media bring up his ancestors owning slaves is about as low as it gets.
I’m also willing to bet that many of the Democrats running today, especially those preaching “reparations” have a family history of owning slaves in this country. Biden, Buttigieg, Warren etc. need to be checked into.

Obama’s ancestors on his white mother’s side appear to have been slave owners. William Reitwiesner, an amateur genealogical researcher, has published a history of Obama’s mother’s family and discovered that her ancestors have a distinctly shadowy past.
Reitwiesner traced Obama’s great-great-great-great-grandfather, George Washington Overall, and found that he owned two slaves in Kentucky: a 15-year-old girl and a 25-year-old man. He also found out that Obama’s great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, Mary Duvall, also owned a pair of slaves listed in an 1850 census record. They were a 60-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman. In fact, the Duvalls were a wealthy family whose members were descended from a major landowner, Maureen Duvall, whose estate owned at least 18 slaves in the 17th century.
