Good vibes only! Fox News guest complains of having to hear about slavery during Monticello tour – By Walter Einenkel (Daily Kos) / July 11, 2022
Monticello estate. This was the estate designed by Thomas Jefferson, built and worked by African American slaves. Monticello is one of the most famous slave plantations because it was home to one of the “Founding Fathers,” and a very important and powerful American historical figure. About half a million people visit the 5,000 acre Monticello every year in Charlottesville, Virginia. A big part of visiting a plantation is finding out that most of the structures and land on a plantation was worked on and lived on by slaves. In fact, outside of the main house—in which slaves worked—virtually every place to see at Monticello includes the stark fact that hundreds of slaves lived out their lives there.
Tucker Carlson was having a standard white supremacist masturbatory session on his show the other day, which included libertarian writer Jeffrey Tucker—who, like Carlson, has a penchant for wearing bow ties as a virtue signal of pretend intellect. His most recent scam is founding a group that angles itself as a nonprofit think tank for anti-maskers. Like most libertarians, Tucker saw a financial opportunity in undermining public health policies.
It turns out that Tucker wanted to tell Carlson all about how he recently visited Monticello and was super bummed out that they brought up how complicated Thomas Jefferson’s legacy is, with all of that hypocritical slavery and raping and stuff.
