Ohio GOP Senate candidate Bernie Moreno proposes reparations for white descendants of Civil War soldiers
Fox News
Ohio Senate candidate Bernie Moreno has floated the idea of reparations for the white descendants of northern soldiers who fought in the Civil War for the freedom of enslaved people.
"We stand at the shoulders of giants, don’t we? We stand on shoulders of people like John Adams, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, George Washington. That this group of people took on the largest empire in history. They said no, we will not stand for this. And won," Moreno told supporters at the event. "That same group of people later, white people, died to free Black people. It’s never happened in human history before, but it happened here in America. That’s not taught a lot in schools much is it?" Kyle Morris covers politics for Fox News. Story tips can be sent to kyle.morris@fox.com and on Twitter: @RealKyleMorris.
"They make it sound like America is a racist, broken country," he continued. "You name a country that did that: that freed slaves, died to do that. You know, they talk about reparations. Where are the reparations for the people in the North who died to save the lives of black people?"
