That includes Democrats Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and even America’s first Black president, Barack Obama — through his White mother’s side — as well as Republican George W. Bush.Mary MacLeod was born in Scotland and married Frederick Trump, the son of a German immigrant., “America’s Family Secret.” The report also determined that at least 100 members of Congress, 11 sitting governors, and two Supreme Court justices are descended from slaveholders.
“They include some of the most influential politicians in America: Republican senators Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton and James Lankford, and Democrats Elizabeth Warren, Tammy Duckworth, Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan,” the article said.
