A recent report from Reuters has liberals’ minds exploding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A report found that all living U.S. presidents are descending from slaveholders, except for one. President Donald J. Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fox News<\/a> has more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The report detailed the ancestry of America’s leaders as of the\u00a0117th Congress.<\/a>\u00a0The report found that five living presidents, two Supreme Court justices, 11 governors and 100 members of Congress had ancestors who owned slaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presidents Biden, Carter, George W. Bush, Clinton and Obama all have ancestors who enslaved Black people in their family trees, according to the report, with Obama’s link coming from his White mother’s side.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

However, Donald Trump’s family did not immigrate to the United States until after slavery was abolished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

At the Supreme Court, only Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch had slaveholding ancestors. Meanwhile, another recent report from the Washington Post found that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson had ancestors who were enslaved, while her husband, Patrick Jackson, has ancestors who were slaveholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Congress, Reuters found at least 100 lawmakers who could trace their family trees to slaveholders, including 28 senators and 72 representatives.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Prominent names included Sens. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Tom Cotton, R-Ark., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
