Rep. Bush Blasted for Demanding Reparations on Fourth of July: Declaration of Independence ‘Written by Enslavers’

Race-mongering Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) earned social media backlash on Independence Day for demanding that the U.S. pay reparations to blacks.

“The Declaration of Independence was written by enslavers and didn’t recognize Black people as human,” she tweeted. “Today is a great day to demand Reparations Now.”

The response to her tweet, as you can imagine, was overwhelmingly and rightfully negative.

“Don’t you think more than enough white people paid for it with their blood during the Civil War?” writer Ian Miles Cheong asked.

Jeremy Redfern, press secretary for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, tweeted: “You’re gonna need reparations for this ratio.”

“Today is a great day to shut the f*** up,” another account tweeted.

Chris Loesch responded, “This is rubbish. Cori has no knowledge of what the framers did or didn’t believe evidently or what their efforts were. She should understand why people like Frederick Douglass honored and revered them.”

Political strategist Ryan Girdusky tweeted, “People like Cori Bush could never build anything as great as what she’s trying to destroy.”

“Shut up you buffoonette,” said attorney and columnist Kurt Schlichter.

Political commentator Varad Mehta added: “Just an absolute pile of rancid filth.”

“Reparations Now” Resolution to Compensate Blacks for Slavery & Jim Crow

On May 17, 2023, Bush joined with fellow House Members Rashida Tlaib, Jamaal Bowman, and Summer Lee in unveiling a “Reparations Now” resolution seeking $14 trillion from Congress to compensate present-day black Americans for the allegedly enduring historical effects that slavery and the Jim Crow era had set in motion. Said Bush regarding this issue:

  • “Every step of the way, Black Americans have been intentionally pushed back economically. A debt is owed. It’s time to pay that debt. It’s time for reparations.”
  • “We have to get the conversation going. We have to speak to all of the horrifying things that went down.”
  • “What we’re talking about is freedom and equity and calling on this country to acknowledge the harm that it has inflicted.”
  • “Our country was not founded on the principle that all people are created equal. It was founded at the expense of the lives, freedoms and well-being of black people, African folks who they stole, whose enslavement, exploitation and dehumanization were written into the Constitution.”
