No. I’m saying that James Callender spread that libel in the first place and Clinton repeated it hoping that logic-challenged fools would gobble it up and spread it. It’s obvious that their bet paid off.
There is no proof that Sally Heming’s kids were fathered by Thomas Jefferson. There were more than a dozen Jefferson males living near Monticello whose DNA share the same Y chromosome as Thomas Jefferson.

Sally Hemings was the daughter of Jefferson’s father in law. She was his wife’s half sister. Her kids resembled his wife and his own children. Callender used this fact to libel Jefferson after they had a falling out. I realize that this is history whereas you prefer 18th century gossip but I’ll post it for the benefit of others.
