Um, You are aware that the left has been attacking Thomas Jefferson, for
being a slave owner, and are finding fault with his writings that he wrote
along with Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sherman, Robert R. Livingston

Wonderful speech Mark, and I agree with you. But let me ask you a question.
What if it was possible to bring AOC back in time to those days that your
