McConnell’s Response To Reports His Great-Great Grandparents Owned Slaves is Absolute Perfection

The MSM has decided to attack Mitch McConnell over something his great great grandparents did.

On Monday night, NBC News published an article revealing that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s great-great-grandfathers owned 14 slaves.

This is clearly “news” because Mitch McConnell opposes reparations.

Here’s what Mitch had to say about reparations back in June:

“No one currently alive was responsible for that.”

He’s EXACTLY right… and the same CONTINUES to hold true, REGARDLESS of what his freaking ancestors did.

Speaking of which… Kamala Harris’ family owned slaves, too. Is that important, or is it fine since she’s on the “right” side of the narrative on this one:

Fake News NBC does a big story with lots of research showing how Mitch McConnell's family once owned slaves. A quick google search will show that Kamala Harris family did too. Guess NBC ran out of time and money and couldn't do that story too? https://t.co/kEKlpOcxYU

Yeah, um… that’s clearly not important.

But so anyway, McConnell responded to the reports, and it was ABSOLUTE PERFECTION:

"You know, I found myself once again in the same position as President Obama. We both oppose reparations. And we both are the descendants of slave holders."

LIKE. A. BOSS.

According to Daily Wire:

Back in 2007, The Guardian reported that amateur genealogical researcher William Reitwiesner found Obama’s great-great-great-great-grandfather, George Washington Overall, owned two slaves in Kentucky. Obama’s great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, Mary Duvall, also owned two slaves. Duvall was a descendent of Maureen Duvall, “whose estate owned at least 18 slaves in the 17th century,” the Guardian reported.

Back in the day, Obama opposed reparations, too:

In 2004, Obama said reparations “would be an excuse for some to say we’ve paid our debt” and stop efforts to heal, USA Today reported. Obama did not call for reparations or pursue the issue during his two presidential terms.

So we’re done here, right?
