Jefferson and Hemmings

I did not listen to this link, only the first minute or two.

The claim Jefferson fatherd a child by Sally Hemmings, while they were both in France, when He was a relatively young man has been debunked.
The DNA of the supposed child was checked, and Jefferson was NOT the father. Two other children of Sally were subsequently claimed to be fathered by Jefferson. One of these was also checked and someone in the Jefferson line did indeed father the child. However at the time, Jefferson was quite old (about 64) and so it is likely a male member of his family did the deed. When the first two people tested did not actually support the claim, an appeal was made to test the third child. This request was "denied." The only reason that makes sense to me is they did not want to actually determine the truth, but wanted to perpetuate the claim.

It is right out of the Marxist playbook to vilify America and this is just another psychological warfare ploy.
