“What the leftists like do when they talk about reparations [and labor] acknowledgments [is] they fail to remember this very obvious point: Whatever debt was owed for the sin of slavery was paid in full with the blood of half a million Americans during the Civil War. We paid that 10 times over. That was an unfathomable loss for this country. We amended the Constitution after slavery ended, because we wanted to be sure we never got back to that place. So we have repaid that debt 10 times in full,” The Federalist’s Brianna Lyman said on Gutfeld!. “But the reason that they keep pedaling this nonsense … is because they think America is this irredeemably racist and sinful and awful place. And the only way you can keep that lie going is by pretending that America hasn’t acknowledged problems she’s had, hasn’t acknowledged the sin of slavery, hasn’t rectified the situation.”
