Patriotic Fury Unleashed: This Democratic Representative Stirs Up Reparations Debate On America's Birthday As Conservatives Fire Back HARD

Democratic Representative Cori Bush of Missouri has called for reparations on Independence Day, stating that it is an opportune time to demand them.

In a tweet, Bush highlighted that the Declaration of Independence was written by enslavers and did not recognize Black people as human. She wrote, "Today is a great day to demand Reparations Now."

Conservative voices swiftly responded to Bush's call for reparations. Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch, referred to her as an "anti-American extremist." Similarly, conservative radio host Todd Starnes suggested that if Bush despises America so much, she should leave the country.

Starnes tweeted, "Ma'am, if you hate America so much - why don't you just leave? You are FREE to do so. And Delta is ready when you are."

Bush and other advocates for reparations have been pushing for the "Reparations Now Resolution." This resolution acknowledges the responsibility of the Federal Government to provide reparations, including financial compensation, to address the ongoing harms resulting from historical violations against Black people.

Democratic Representative Jamaal Bowman also took to Twitter on Independence Day to emphasize the importance of recognizing the history of stolen land and enslaved Africans.

He stated, "This July 4th, we must remember that we stand on stolen land toiled by enslaved Africans and recommit ourselves to the fight for freedom, equality, & justice so that these ideals are accessible to everyone, not just a privileged few. We are not free until everyone is truly free."

Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida criticized those who view the United States as an evil nation built on stolen land and take issue with patriotic symbols.

Rubio referred to them as "nuts" and urged parents to ensure that their children understand the misguided nature of these individuals.

He tweeted, "Today we have many influential people who see America as an evil nation built on stolen land & who are offended by our [flag], patriotic songs & chants of USA. Please make sure your kids understand that those people may be rich, famous or have fancy degrees but they also happen to be nuts."
