Cliffs: Ahead of his giving the Official Republican Response to Biden's address, Kessler takes aim at Sen. Tim Scott and his "Cotton Fields to Congress in 2 Generations" biography. Glenn, the son of a Proctor and Gamble VP, suggests Sen. Scott is a lying hack who comes from privilege, because his grandfather may have dropped out of 4th grade instead of 3rd grade (isn't dropping out of 4th grade '3rd grade education'? Anyhoo...) and was able to scribble his own name legibly on a land deed.
So someone does some research into Glenn's Dutch family, who were in the oil and steel business. And by that I mean his great-grandfather founded Royal Dutch Shell, and leadership passed to his sons. During WWII. they were Nazi Collaborators, using slave labor for the war effort. Someone posts a picture of Glenn's grandfather, and his response is, "nun-unh, that's my Great Uncle". He says his grandfather didn't collaborate with his great-uncle, and cites a Wikipedia article, edited by Glenn Kessler, as his source.
The ratio and replies are epic.
