Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) hatefully denounced America’s Founding Fathers on the Fourth of July and called for reparations for black Americans under the guise of social justice, while trashing the nation over “stolen land” and slavery.

“The Declaration of Independence was written by enslavers and didn’t recognize Black people as human. Today is a great day to demand Reparations Now ✊,” Bush tweeted.
She was joined by fellow “Squad” member Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) who tweeted, “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.”
Bush recently introduced a bill to Congress outrageously calling for $14 trillion in slavery reparations. The House has yet to vote on the legislation.
“The United States has a moral and legal obligation to provide reparations for the enslavement of Africans and its lasting harm on the lives of millions of black people,” Bush said during a press conference in May. “America must provide reparations if we desire a prosperous future for all.”
The Declaration of Independence was written by enslavers and didn’t recognize Black people as human.
Today is a great day to demand Reparations Now ✊

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.

Following Bush’s statement on reparations, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene responded by making a claim that also got a ton of reaction. Greene and Bush have a history of public feuds and this one exploded over Bush’s comments on Independence Day.
Greene slammed Bush in response to her call for reparations, calling Bush out on her 2022 vote in favor of sending billions of dollars to Ukraine to help the Eastern European country fend off a Russian invasion.
“Just stop,” Greene tweeted Tuesday. “You voted to send $113 Billion to the white people and white Nazi army of Ukraine.”
Just stop.
You voted to send $113 Billion to the white people and white Nazi army of Ukraine. https://t.co/aFtTH4Bhnb

Bush slammed Greene in a response on Twitter, sharing a screenshot of a Newsweek headline that read, “Marjorie Taylor Greene Bought Defense Stock Day Before Slamming ‘Profitable’ War.”
“This you?” Bush tweeted, speciously responding to Greene’s smackdown.
This you? https://t.co/eLJ3QJlYu1 pic.twitter.com/HZTUe92tfX

Both Bush and Bowman were ripped on social media for opportunistically denouncing the United States on Independence Day:
MLK Jr., civil rights leader:
“When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir.”Cori Bush, ambassador: https://t.co/BoqUDAqlNz

Here’s my proposed “reparations”:
We’ll buy you a one-way ticket.
Anywhere you want.
You must renounce your American citizenship.
And never come back. https://t.co/DPFKPupNZr

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. https://t.co/wnSKbR1Ptn

Just a U.S. Congresswoman demanding reparations on the 4th of July…
As we learned during COVID, these people truly are Marxists at heart, but they only let that be fully known when they think its safe to do so.
They seem to think its getting safer on almost a daily basis.

Don’t you think more than enough white people paid for it with their blood during the Civil War?

You are a Communist grifter, @CoriBush.
While the Declaration of Independence is a gift to humanity seeking freedom, the Communist Manifesto is a guarantee for enslavement.
The Reparation you will get under Communism is the plantation called Gulag.

Oh my god. You were never a slave. You live in the greatest and freest country in the world, and you’re an elected member of the United States Congress. No one is oppressing you. You have a huge amount of privilege. A little gratitude to your country for one day couldn’t hurt.
— Matt Antar (@mantarnyc) July 4, 2023
Spoken as someone who obviously has never read the Declaration of Independence, nor bothered to learn the history behind the writing of it ♀️

Do you commies have any new material? This “stolen land” thing is boring.
— Jeremy Redfern (@JeremyRedfernFL) July 4, 2023
You are among the most powerful politicians in the most privileged country at the most privileged time in human history.
How about taking a minute to stop lecturing and be grateful for it?
