NBC Finds Mitch McConnell’s Great-Great-Grandfathers Owned Slaves. McConnell Savages Them In Two Sentences.

Late Monday night, NBC News published an “exclusive” revealing that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s great-great-grandfathers owned 14 slaves. The article ties the so-called revelation to McConnell’s opposition to reparations for the descendants of slaves.

NBC spent a great amount of time digging through century-old census records to trace McConnell’s history and find the slave owners.
