Democrats Reduced to Promising Reparations

CALLER: Now, I can remember not too — I work retail, so I listen to you as much as I can — I can remember one time, maybe a couple years ago you said specifically that the 2020 election and Trump’s reelection will be determined by the lack of black support for Democrats. And I feel that that’s really shaping up as you said because the reparations movement is really grassroots.

They’re demanding specifically an amount of reparations to be given to them, and every single — if you notice, every single Democrat nominee has had to answer that question, and that definitely is not a coincidence. Even your main man Mayor Pete, he even had to answer when he was on The View ’cause they’re not really reporting this in the media, but this is a really groundswell movement. And the Democrats are really having to pay attention to it —

RUSH: Well, let me tell you something. You are on to something here. I’m out of time, but I’m glad you brought this up because it is the reason the Democrats are making this big push on reparations that’s interesting.

Do you know why all of a sudden these whippersnapper Democrat presidential candidates are all out-promising each other on reparations? I think — I think these people are not blind.

They may be fools, but they can see that African-American unemployment is at its lowest point in history under a Republican president they all hate. They can see that the economy is going gangbusters. They know that there are more people looking for jobs than there are jobs, things that don’t happen when they have the presidency. They know that this country’s economy is on an upswing and it’s pretty strong. But the important numbers are the minority unemployment numbers. African-American and Hispanic unemployment is at an all-time low.

And they’re smart enough to realize that African-Americans, at some point, are gonna realize that this happened not when a Democrat’s in the White House but when a Republican’s in the White House. I think demanding reparations — ’cause I don’t think they mean it. I think they’re just saying it. I think this is what they’ve been driven to saying as a last-ditch effort not to lose a significant portion of the minority vote to Donald Trump in 2020, and I think it’s ultimately an insult. I think what they’re ultimately saying is: “Vote for us; we’ll give you even more.
