Strictly speaking, their relationship is a bit more distant. According to Geni.com, Richard Burr's 11th great-grandfather is Aaron Burr's 4th great-grandfather. (They're all distantly related to Bob Juch.)VillageSoup wrote:King brought the house down with a story about a conversation he had after Intelligence Committee chairman Sen. Richard Burr (R) and vice chairman Sen. Mark Warner (D), held a joint press conference to assure the public the committee would get to the bottom of Russian interference issues.
King recalls that in appreciation of the bipartisan and positive nature of the press conference, he said to Burr, “Richard, that was a great press conference. You and Mark did a terrific job. It's important for the American people to be together on this. Like they say in Hamilton, 'History has it's eyes on you.'
And Richard took one step back, and said 'Angus, I don't know if you want to quote Hamilton to me, since my great, great grandfather shot him.' ”
