Default TRIVIA.....Will history be repeated ? ?

Posted By: Ryan Christoff

Hey Jerks,

Chet Brewer's full name was Chester Arthur Brewer.

Oscar Charleston's middle name was McKinley, presumably after the later assassinated president. Charleston was born on October 14th, 1896. William McKinley was elected the 25th president of the United States on November 2nd, 1896.

This all comes full circle because in 1899, McKinley's vice-president Garret Hobart died in office from heart failure. This meant that McKinley would have a new vice-president for the 1900 election in which he was re-elected to a 2nd term. As we all know, McKinley was unable to complete his 2nd term as president to due his being assassinated in 1901. This, of course, meant the vice-president would become the president.

And that's how Sarah Palin became president of the United States.
