Abraham Lincoln didn’t just free the slaves and preserve the Union.
America’s 16th (and arguably greatest-ever) president also pardoned the current chief executive’s paternal great-great-grandfather after he was sentenced to hard labor at a military prison, newly unearthed documents show.
President Biden’s ancestor, Moses Robinette, was put in the dock after he came to blows with one John Alexander, a fellow civilian employee of the Union Army, on March 21, 1864, according to records found by the Washington Post.
Alexander, a brigade wagon master, was left bloodied by wounds that came from Robinette’s pocket knife and the presidential forebear was hauled away by camp watchmen.
Robinette, whose legacy lives on in the 46th president’s middle name, had been hired by the Army to work as a veterinary surgeon sometime in 1862 or 1863, according to the documents which were dug up at the National Archives in Washington.

I bet that JR Biden has NEVER REALLY TAKEN ANYONE TO THE BACK OF THE BARN!
As with most of his stories, he lies to boost up his puny, sorry-ass in the eyes of any listener he can scare up.
Biden is a mess. His PROFLIGATE SON, Hunter had the father as his male model.
Any question as to what caused this?
Not a trace of honesty in either father or son. NOT A TRACE!
What’s the different name?
So a historical legacy of crime. 😆
Hunter will continue the family tradition then
Ever heard “Presidents Day”?
Yes....but apparently this one actually had a real job. That’s something Biden never had in adulthood.
