–UPDATED —
There's a fake photo circulating on Twitter supposedly of my grandfather. Folks, do your research. My grandfather was Geldolph, not Guus. He was placed in a detention camp during WWII because he refused to cooperate with Nazis who seized his steel mill. https://t.co/kqUZYko82i

And yet even with this update, people aren’t really giving Glenn any props.
So, you gonna repost your racist hate lies about a black member of the Senate again, Glenn?

Congrats, your family weren’t nazis they were just Uber wealthy and privileged businessmen and professional athletes.

No one going to give your family a medal after they assaulted Africa for money.

And you still refuse to learn the lesson here.

I ran a fact check on Glenn's claim here, using the same standard he applied to Tim Scott's family history.
Rating: Mostly False

Man, your day has not improved.

Wait so your ancestors had land and a steel mill?

"Folks do your research" o the irony
— AnonAmish (@MrAmishMan) April 23, 2021
Oh the IRONY indeed.
–UPDATE–
As Twitchy readers know, Glenn Kessler wrote a fairly ugly ‘fact checker’ piece on Tim Scott and his family history, and by fairly ugly we mean nasty and racist AF.
Sen. TIm Scott will give the GOP response to Biden. But there’s more to the story of his grandfather than he tells audiences. https://t.co/HlLTppVTgM

So, we don’t exactly feel overly sorry for Glenn after seeing what Arthur Schwartz dropped about HIS grandfather.
All we can really say is ouch.
And maybe DAYUM.
Just @GlennKesslerWP’s grandfather proudly giving the Hitler salute at a Nazi funeral. https://t.co/MJt0EbdcKn pic.twitter.com/a9kVdOhG9g

Guess there’s more to Kessler’s story too?

Perhaps we should have a #factcheck here too.

It’s clear now the WP in his Twitter handle stands for “white power”.

Meep.
Sounds like there is a lot more to the story of Glenn’s family.
