According to The New York Daily News, the shot was actually taken by Wheel of Fortune's producers over a decade ago, in 2005, during an on-location shoot at Vacherie, Louisiana's Oak Alley Plantation.

A spokesperson for that particular plantation, Hillary Loeber, stated that they don't employ actors to depict slaves. Loeber went on to say that they do hire tour guides who don period clothing, like the "Annabelle-style hoop skirts" that can be seen in the clip, but that people of all skin colors can be hired for those roles.

They don't hire people to portray slaves, they just hire black people and dress them in period clothes. Lol.

Sanders: FBI inquiry of wife is 'pathetic' attack

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Tuesday broke his silence on an FBI inquiry into his wife Jane Sanders, calling the probe a "pathetic" and politically motivated attack.

"My wife is about the most honest person I know," Sanders said on CNN's "OutFront" Tuesday. "All that I will tell you now is it's a sad state of affairs in America when not only we have politicians being destroyed ... but when you go after people's wives. That's pretty pathetic."

Sanders also suggested in the video that the inquiry was politically motivated, but wouldn't comment further.

"That's all I'm going to say. I think it's fairly pathetic that when people are involved in public life not only do they get attacked, but their wives and their families get attacked," Sanders added.



The FBI is reportedly looking into whether Jane Sanders falsified loan documents while she served as the president of Burlington College. The small Vermont liberal arts school closed down in May 2016 after going bankrupt and failing to meet accreditation standards.
A family spokesperson confirmed to the AP on Monday that Sanders has hired a lawyer to protect her interests.
Bernie Sanders had dodged questions on the subject Monday.

Report: Bernie Sanders’ Wife Tried to Have Disabled Residents Kicked Out of Group Home

Records obtained by Judicial Watch offer more insight into the time when Jane Sanders was president of Burlington College in Vermont, between 2004-11. Sanders’ push to expand the college is reportedly being investigated by the FBI, namely the allegation by Vermont blog VTDigger that she said she had $2.6 million in pledged donations in her loan application when in fact she had only half a million pledged.

Judicial Watch now reports that the parcel of land that Jane Sanders eyed for the college’s expansion included a group home for disabled people. Part of the deal was that she negotiate the transfer of the residents before the college took the property.

However, the watchdog reports that she tried to kick them out of their home instead. The report cites a letter to the group’s attorney in which she says, “It is simply not fair to expect the College to continue to carry the burden of the expenses associated with housing both your population and ours until February 2012.”

jane running that college is microcosm of Bernie running the country. jane was not qualified to run it and Bernie is not qualified to run the country.
