McConnell Won’t Support Reparations

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said that he does not support reparations for descendants of slaves, The Hill reports.

Said McConnell: “I don’t think reparations for something that happened 150 years ago for whom none us currently living are responsible is a good idea. We’ve tried to deal with our original sin of slavery by fighting a civil war, by passing landmark civil rights legislation. We elected an African American president.”
