Hey, remember that time Pete Buttigieg seemed like one of the least objectionable Democratic presidential contenders? It didn’t last long, but there was a time. In any event, that time is long past over now.

The guy who literally wrote the text of the Constitution, Gouverneur Morris, gave an amazing series of speeches in Philadelphia denouncing slavery.

This is ahistorical nonsense of the highest order. It's part of the ugly attempt to rewrite American history along hideous lines, as a story of unending oppression, rather than as the flowering of the founding ideals our founders never fully embodied. https://t.co/saSVQ3Nn5h
