Kamala Harris says she favors financially ruinous “reparations” for slavery and that she may even try to push out executive orders to make it happen if Congress doesn’t act on the absurd plan.
Politico’s Eugene Daniels recently asked Harris her stance on the idiotic idea of paying black people who were never slaves, money from taxpayers who were never slave owners.
In response, she was clear that she wants to see reparations paid to blacks:

Especially, again, when people are trying to deny history, when people are, you know, so-called leaders are saying that enslaved people benefited from slavery. I mean, let’s talk about the delta here in terms of the work that needs to be done. It’s profound.
In a desperate attempt to win over the black votes, democrats have lost due to migration and pure neglect of the black community as a whole.
