Knowles At ‘Fox’: No One Cares That Your Great-Great-Grandpa Owned Slaves

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) great-great-grandfather owned slaves, which according to NBC News invalidates his opposition to reparations for the great-great-great-great-grandchildren of black slaves in America.

“McConnell has opposed paying reparations to descendants of slaves, though census records show his family, like many others, benefited from their labor,” reads the report. The “though” reveals the reporters’ hand: you can either descend from slave-owners or oppose reparations, but you can’t do both – at least according to NBC.
