The NYT article linked in that Reuters article is missing.

From what i can tell the Top Cop story is pretty accurate.

The Atlantic argued in an op-ed that she doesn’t say enough when pressed about criticisms about her track record, “like that she fought hard to keep innocents in prison and failed to fight hard against corrupt cops.”

Biden was also known as the "tough on crime guy" being a co-writer of one of the largest incarceration laws so they fit together perfectly. Two Republicans cosplaying as Democrats.

The slave owner family criticism is indeed far less relevant as a link to 1800's has like 32/64 people in the parents tree and chances are one of those will be a slave owner but 200 years later that's not super relevant to the children.

i have to admit i don't really know much about her prosecutorial history, so i am not going to argue about that.

it is not relevant even if it is your parent. your parents are unique and independent individuals and you can't be responsible for their actions.

it can be problematic, to a degree, if you somehow profited from it, but that is really not the case here.
