Gutfeld: Obama Should Pay Reparations For Slaves NOT Trump

If your having a bad day there’s a good chance watching Gutfeld will at least put a little smile on your face.

After sharing the recent Reuters report that every single US president besides Trump is a descendent of slave owners, Gutfeld jokingly stated that Trump should not have to pay reparations but suggest Obama still has to being his descendants owned slaves.

Watch Gutfeld break it down below:

Trump’s pastor Darrell Scott also chimed in.

Take a look:

Every living President owes reparations except for President Trump! 🤣

Here’ the Reuters report Gutfeld was referring to:

At least 100 members of the last sitting Congress are direct descendants of ancestors who enslaved Black people, representing at least 8% of Democrats in Congress and 28% of Republicans.

The group includes Republican senators Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton and James Lankford, and Democrats Elizabeth Warren, Tammy Duckworth, Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan.

President Joe Biden and every living former U.S. president except Donald Trump are direct descendants of slaveholders: Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

Governors of 11 of the 50 U.S. states in 2022 were descendants of slaveholders, as were two U.S. Supreme Court justices.

Check out what the Washington Examiner reported:

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) may not actually descend from Native Americans, but she evidently did descend from at least one slave owner. This is according to a new Reuters investigation, which showed fellow Sens. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), and Maggie Hassan (D-NH) also descended from a slave owner, and as did every single living president — except for Donald Trump.

Back during her failed bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, Warren called for a “national, full-blown conversation about reparations” for slavery, thus mainstreaming the proposal now backed by the state of California and a significant sector of the Democratic caucus in Congress.

But as the Reuters report illustrates, the real roadblock to reparations is not just the cost or even the rationale. Rather, it’s the “how” that leads to all sorts of uncomfortable practicalities.

Consider the case of Barack Obama. The former president’s father was born in Kenya and only moved to America on a university scholarship to study economics. In a vacuum, Barack Obama Sr.’s lineage doesn’t put his son on either side of the reparations formula. His ancestors were never slaves in the United States. Obama’s mother, a white Kansan, had multiple slave-owning ancestors and probably black ancestors who were enslaved. Genetically speaking, matrilineal descent would put Obama on both sides of the reparations equation.

Isn’t that ironic?

The man the left deems as the most racist person on the planet has no history of his descendants owning any slaves.

Remember this report because more than likely it will be memory holed.
