Warren Harding and his out-of-wedlock child, who was just proven to be his daughter through DNA testing.

After nearly 100 years of rumors and historical speculation, DNA testing has confirmed that President Warren Harding had a child out of wedlock – his only biological child – with mistress Nan Britton.
Britton first came forward publically with the claim that her daughter, Elizabeth Ann, was Harding’s daughter in a 1927 autobiography “The President’s Daughter.” In her account, Britton detailed a steamy six-year-long affair with the 29th president, including one encounter in a White House closet, before his untimely death in 1923.
At the time of its publishing, the book was met with public ridicule and widely discounted as the stuff of pornographic fiction. Britton was labeled a “sex pervert” and “degenerate,” and a book was even written to counter her claims about Harding, who was married to Florence Mabel Harding.
Harding historian James Robenalt compares Britton to the Monica Lewinsky of her time.
“Nan Britton was someone who had to live through a lot of attacks … and I think her story was a lot like Monica Lewinsky because there was a real shaming process,” Robenalt said. “She was just picking up for her daughter, who we now know was Harding’s daughter, and she was just viciously attacked for it.”

all Bill got was a Lewinsky
Well that will be grist for the mill of the MSM.
Did Harding die in the saddle?
I’ve heard that Slick has a black child.
For me, Harding’s foibles and peccadilloes are the most interesting saga of the period, followed by the hilarious shenanigans of Aimee Semple McPherson.
That was Nelson Rockefeller.
maybe Hillary should run as a black female
No, he died on the return leg of a trip to Alaska, in a San Francisco hotel. On the train heading north, he played cards and boozed with his buddies, and it is said that this was the first time he was told of the criminality of some of his friends who would later be sent to prison or killed in strange circumstances.
She’ll probably resort to that. And a poor old grandmother.
When comparing the exploits of Warren Harding and Bill Clinton, one researcher stated “they were close, but no cigar.”
The Harding DNA results were done through Ancestry.com. Seems like they could do us a favor and prove to us one way or the other whether Chelsea is related to Webb.
Harding actually lost the White House china in a poker game once.
Harding’s death gave way to what IMHO, was one of the best Presidents of the 20th century -— CALVIN COOLIDGE.
Coolidge guided the USA past the depression of 1920-21 to a great 7 year economic boom ( The roaring 20’s ).
LMAO...well played!

Or whether Danny Williams is related to Bill Clinton.
