Dem, backed by the AOC, has a habit of trashing America, called ‘terrible’ by the American foundation

FIRST ON FOX: A Democrat from Wisconsin supported by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, DN.Y. and the Senate bid has repeatedly trashed the United States, calling the Founding Fathers “terrible” and decrying America’s history as “a colonial, slave, sexist past.”

Independence Day is the quintessential American party: an explosive reminder of our triumph over the British and the founding of our country.

However, criticism of America and its history has grown louder in recent years, with some even running for office.

One such critic is Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes, a Democrat running for Senate in the cheese state.

Barnes has aimed for American history throughout his career, and the 4th of July isn’t getting any passes.

In 2019, the Wisconsin Senate candidate used on vacation as a platform to attack the country as having “a long tradition of separating children from families – from the sale of African American children as slaves to boarding schools that took Native American children from their parents.”

The Wisconsin Democrat made a similar decision on Independence Day 2020 as the George Floyd protests and riots unfolded, accusing America of having “a long tradition of injustice”.

“This nation has a long history of injustice – from the enslavement of Africans and their sale as property, to genocidal actions against Indigenous peoples, to the systemic forms of racism and violence experienced by Black, Indigenous and other communities of color to this day”, Barnes writes on facebook.

“But the judgment we have witnessed over the past few months has reaffirmed my belief that we can change the course of our nation,” he continued. “The diverse, multi-generational coalition of people marching for justice demands that we finally honor the promises of inalienable rights enshrined in our Declaration of Independence and extend those rights to all.”

Independence Day isn’t the only US holiday Barnes has attacked – he told Wisconsin residents on Thanksgiving 2020 “to reconcile the meaning behind this holiday” before decrying it as “a painful reminder of the atrocities committed against indigenous communities”.

“And as this holiday celebrates some of the earliest immigrants to this land, it juxtaposes the unspeakable cruelty we see at our borders,” Barnes wrote.

“The truth is, this country was founded on the backs of people who were enslaved on land that was stolen, and those injustices continue to permeate our society,” the Senate candidate continued. “We must do more to rectify these historic and current injustices, especially as we face the worst public health crisis of our lifetimes.”

“As we reflect on this holiday, I am grateful to all who are fighting to address these deep and systemic injustices to create a more equitable and inclusive country for all,” he added.

Barnes also appeared to call the founding of the United States “awful” in an August 2021 speech.

“Things were terrible because of the founding of this nation? Horrible,” Barnes said. “But you know, we’re here now and we have to commit to doing whatever we can to right the wrong because it still exists today – the wrong, the damage – whether it’s colonization, whether it’s slavery, the impacts are felt today.”

“And they will continue to be felt unless we address them in a meaningful way,” he continued.

Additionally, Barnes asserted in 2021 that the intent of the Founding Fathers “has been used as the basis of oppression for too long” and that America “should make decisions based on the future, not raw ideals.” of a colonial, slave-owning, sexist society”. past.”

“Feels like being guided by mistakes instead of being informed by them,” he tweeted.

The Democrat also dismissed President George Washington’s significance in US history as the first slave-owning president.

Barnes also appeared to call the president’s respect for the constitutional authority of former President Trump’s tweets “mutton talk.”

Barnes just received a coveted endorsement of “Squad” leader Ocasio-Cortez, who pushed to pack the Supreme Court and end the filibuster alongside him.

However, progressive policies have become the elephant in the room amid high gas prices and rising inflation.

Either way, Ocasio-Cortez’s endorsement will likely help Barnes secure Cheese State’s progressive vote.
