Once upon a time, historians stumbled upon an interesting tidbit about President Joe Biden’s family tree that might make you raise an eyebrow or two. It turns out that one of Joe Biden’s long-lost relatives, Moses Johnson Robinette, got into a bit of a scuffle during the Civil War days. Now, before you jump to conclusions, folks, let’s hear the whole story.
REPORT: Biden's Great-Great-Grandfather Committed Bloody Crime https://t.co/b8PJIN9MUS

So, Moses Johnson Robinette, President Biden’s paternal great-great-grandpappy, found himself in a sticky situation back in 1864. It seems that after decamping from battle one fateful night, ol’ Moses got into a bit of a tussle with another Union officer named John J. Alexander. Apparently, Alexander accused Moses of making inappropriate comments about a lady friend, and that’s when things took a turn for the worse.
Now, in the heat of the moment, tempers flared, and before you could say “pardon me,” there were some knife wounds involved. Poor Moses found himself facing an attempted murder charge and ended up cooling his heels on an island near Florida. But fear not, dear readers, for here comes the hero of our tale – none other than President Abraham Lincoln himself.
Yes, you heard that right! President Lincoln, in all his wisdom and mercy, decided to pardon Moses Johnson Robinette towards the end of the Civil War. It seems ol’ Abe saw something in Moses that touched his heart, and he decided to give the man a second chance.
Now, some might say, “Well, what does this have to do with President Biden?” Let me tell you, friends, it’s all about connecting the dots. You see, Moses is President Biden’s paternal ancestor, and this little nugget of history adds a whole new layer to the Biden family saga.
And let me tell you, folks, isn’t it just like a conservative to appreciate a good ol’ tale of redemption and forgiveness? President Lincoln saw past Moses’s mistake and recognized the value he brought to the table during those turbulent times. That’s the kind of leadership we need more of in this world – a willingness to show compassion and understanding even in the face of conflict.
So, the next time you hear someone try to twist this story into something it’s not, remember the moral of the tale – sometimes, a little forgiveness can go a long way. And who knows, maybe one day, our own leaders will follow in ol’ Abe’s footsteps and show a little grace to those who need it most.
