NO! Jefferson WAS NOT THE FATHER.

DNA proved beyond a doubt that the child was fathered by a close male relative but not Jefferson.

This whole bullshit smear campaign was deliberately engineered by the Clinton Whitehouse to take some of the heat off him getting oral sex from interns in the Oval Office.

It was a deliberate lie.

I thought Broadway had proven that all of the Founding Fathers were Black and that Hamilton was the father of all slaves.

Why would you say "This whole bullshit smear campaign" when that would not have been a "smear campaign" but just a fact of life?

Sally Hemings was born about 1773 to the enslaved Elizabeth "Betty" Hemings and her mother's owner, John Wayles. Betty's parents were a "full-blooded African" enslaved woman and a white English sea captain surnamed Hemings. Captain Hemings tried to purchase his daughter Betty from their enslaver, Francis Eppes, but the planter refused out of curiosity about how the mixed ethnicities would turn out in Betty.[23] Upon Eppes' death his daughter, Martha Eppes, inherited Betty, and took her as a personal slave upon her marriage to Wayles.

Of course Thomas Jefferson did the same thing.   I believe that one of my relatives did the same thing too.

Science weighs heavily compared to bullshit.
