Breitbart: George Washington’s Mount Vernon has discontinued a magnet depicting the first president’s false teeth in light of a controversy about their origin.
A souvenir replica of George Washington’s dentures has been pulled from the Mount Vernon site after protests that the teeth were pulled from slaves’ mouths to fill his own. Author and historian Dr. Ana Lucia Araujo tweeted at the official Mount Vernon account early Tuesday morning: “Dear @MountVernon,” she wrote, “it’s time to remove the magnet of Washington’s teeth (that included teeth of enslaved persons) from your store.” read more
Dr. Ana Lucia Araujo needs to go to hell.
Given the history of the Democrat Party with regard to slavery…
You do the math.
I heard that the teeth weren’t really from slaves – more like indentured servants.
^Funny.
Hey, Doc. Bite me.
“Critics have argued that the teeth MAY have been taken without consent“. In other words, no proof. People, free and slaves had their teeth pulled all the time, for a variety of reasons; there was no need to pull perfectly good teeth to make dentures, there wasn’t a shortage.
I didn’t know Washington’s fake teeth were made of steel!

That discussion doesn’t fit the prog narrative ergo according to them it falls outside the post Obama Overton window
Wait ’til the reparations crowd hears of this.
Another attempt to erase history, good or bad. Has this fable been verified and by whom??
If you go to the link (Breitbart) and see the item of discussion, I cannot imagine anyone ever buying the contraption.
Like it might be in the top ten all time disgusting souvenirs.
I’ll have a comment after I chew on this a bit.
I’d gladly donate a tooth to President Trump if he needed one.
I thought Nancy Piglosi was now wearing George’s old dentures!
“All that for some teeth?” – Michelle 0bama.
What is a souvenir replica of George Washington’s dentures? Is this like a denture-shaped paperweight or a refrigerator magnet?
Either way WTH.
I thought they were talking about these teeth
