Chuck Schumer Supports Slavery Reparations Bill, Rips McConnell

On Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer jumped on the slavery reparations bandwagon, telling reporters that he supported a bill that would establish a commission to study slavery reparation proposals for black Americans.

According to Axios, Schumer took a vicious swipe at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) who opposes reparations, snapping, “What McConnell said was just preposterous and that’s why I’m supporting this legislation. In his actions as Majority Leader, he’s done nothing to combat bigotry.”
