Remnants of slavery are physically present in the Capitol, as well as in the DNA and family histories of many of our political leaders.
Several U.S. leaders have black slave ancestry and many others also have ancestry from people who owned black slaves.
The connection to America’s most vile period is something many with slaveholder ancestors would prefer to forget, but a new in-depth report from Reuters is exposing the whole truth.
Slaveholder Descendants
According to the new Reuters investigation, more than one-fifth of today’s U.S. politicians are direct descendants of slaveholders. Among them are Democrats Maggie Hassan, Tammy Duckworth, Elizabeth Warren, and Jeanne Shaheen.
Slaveholder descendants also include Republicans such as Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, James Lankford, and Tom Cotton.
The state of South Carolina stands out for having the most political leaders with ties to U.S. slavery. Both James Clyburn and Tim Scott have ancestors who were enslaved.
U.S. Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett are also direct descendants of slaveholders. All former presidents and current POTUS Joe Biden are direct descendants of slaveholders.
However, there is one presidential exception, somebody the liberal media would prefer you completely forget about…
At least a 100 members of the last sitting Congress descended from slaveholders 28% of R’s & 8% democrats & every living American president except Trump. When contacted by Reuters for a response 67 of 100 lawmakers offered no reply. I wonder why? Retweet. pic.twitter.com/Kge3uiy5aU

Trump Has Zero Slave Owner Ancestors
The only former president who doesn’t have any slaveholding ancestors is Trump. Trump’s family came to America after the abolition of slavery.
Reuters has strict standards of fact-checking and investigation, but even they had to admit there was no slaveholder past anywhere in Trump’s family.
Even Barack Obama, who is half black, is a direct descendant of slavery on the side of his white mother. This is remarkable news and if Trump was a globalist, it’s something they would be celebrating day and night.
Yet, because the media wants to turn him into a villain, this fact will be quietly ignored and downplayed…
OBAMA FAMILY HAD SLAVES
TRUMP FAMILY NO SLAVES
NOW WHO’S THE HYPOCRITE?
Trump is only living US president not descended from slaveholders, report sayshttps://t.co/V42i6LSlEw
