George Washington was a 'liar' who the other Founding Fathers couldn't wait to see the back of, claims a new biography on The Father of his Country. Buying teeth from his slaves at a third of the market price, refusing to free them, and causing conflict that eventually led the the start of 'humanity's first world war' are among the many ethical and moral missteps the country's first president made, claims new book 'You Never Forget Your First: A Biography of George Washington' by historian Alexis Coe. The book was released this Presidents' Day weekend, coinciding with the broadcast of the History Channel's new three-part series 'Washington', on which Coe was also a consulting producer.

The Daily Mail just gave her tens of thousands of dollars worth of free advertising.
When Clinton got in trouble for diddling his intern, suddenly there was DNA linking Jefferson to a slave child. Just realize that the same DNA that linked the child to a male member of the Jefferson family - COMPLETELY EXONERATED Thomas Jefferson. It was NOT his DNA.
But you don’t read that in the papers, on purpose.
Can’t wait to read how they spin the hapless Hussein 200 years from now.
That’s nothing. I heard that George Washington drank his ale out of 24 ounce cups. This made Mike Bloomberg’s ancestor Amos Bloomberg very angry.
Oh my, he sounds like a modern democrat.
He didn’t even lie when he was caught cutting down a cherry tree. I know my history.
Well... he was not illiterate.
Amos Bloomberg...lol....all 4 feet of him?
What utter nonsense from people like that who essentially try to rewrite history. I went to Mount Vernon last May and found all topics to be sensitively and respectfully handled and treated, including Washington’s views on slavery.
When you're finished with it, can I borrow it?
Another unhinged lefty just making up stuff, for her version of “history”.
She needs to take the Mount Vernon tour. They go into great detail about the TRUTH of Washington’s life and legacy.
No, never mind, I prefer she not defile that sacred ground.
Oh wait. They didn't.
“who the other Founding Fathers couldn’t wait to see the back of,”
They hated him so much that they begged him to be King.
This vile cretin’s maggot ridden brain deserves to be put out of here misery. George is in my family tree and I consider this a blood libel.
Isn’t it an amazing place to visit?
We were able to go upstairs to Martha’s room (where she lived, in the months before passing).
The view from the back of the home, of the Patomac River, is breathtaking.
UK Daily Mail? Are the Limeys still sore about that Yorktown thingy?
Blah blah blah - GFY
Washington was one of the biggest heros this nation has ever had.
