After Biden Killed Trump's 1776 Commission, Congress Now Looking To Reinstate Legislatively

On President Joe Biden’s first day in office, he revoked the order.

Nowrap. Ted Budd (R-N.C.) has proposed legislation to order the commission into law.

“Trump was doing it as a counter to the 1619 Project, which really started two years ago,” stated Budd throughout CPAC 2021. “[It] was putting slavery at the center of our national narrative. That’s part of our narrative, but it’s not the whole narrative. So we launched the 1776 Commission to talk about our founding principles, and what led to a nation of laws, and not have a nation of power by men.”

Many media outlets and the Biden administration have insisted that the 1776 Commission is racist.

Budd differed with those allegations, explaining that the United States has always been in a progression toward freedom.

He cited the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation and the following 1868 Civil Rights movement, declaring that the media’s allegations in this regard are part of a “narrative to distract people.”

“We’re always on a march towards more freedom. But it’s regressing now, they call it progressivism, but it’s truly ‘regressivism,’ we’re going backwards,” he stated.

“The devil always accuses of his own sins. And that’s what we’re seeing right now. From the left, when they say racism, it’s actually a power grab from them. That leads to more elitism, which is more racism.”

The commission was tasked with creating a report on “the core principles of the American founding” and advising the president and the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission on plans to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States. The order further called for the making of a “Presidential 1776 Award” to recognize students’ knowledge about the founding of America.

Budd said that the concept behind the 1776 Commission is that all people are provided an equal value from birth and that from 1776 onward these beliefs have been recognized.

“This is about the power of the government to tell you what you should do, who you should be. And I just think that’s completely wrong,” he said, referring to the alternate take on American history, the 1619 Project.

“That’s why 1776 is so important,” he stated.

It seems like Budd’s Proposal is justified, “I worry that too many in education are less interested in a richer, more complete narrative than in a new orthodoxy erected atop a caricature of American villainy. Portraying the American tale as an endless parade of horribles isn’t any more honest than cartoonish accounts of American wonderfulness; worse, it strikes me as remarkably destructive if the goal is to raise engaged, responsible citizens.” wrote resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute Rick Hess.
