Fox News
U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock D-Ga., told a group of college graduates over the weekend that they need to teach how to get the U.S. out of "COVID-1619," according to a report.
During his speech, Warnock claimed systemic racism was built into America’s health care system, the Daily Caller reported. He also compared the COVID-19 pandemic to claims made in The 1619 Project, a New York Times report about the impact of slavery on American history. "May this be the class that’s going to set new standards for how we deliver care people and reach people who have been traditionally marginalized and forgotten about in our health care system making sure everyone has great access to health care no matter what they look like, where they live, or how much money they have," Warnock said, according to the Daily Caller.
