No Sen. Tuberville, Reparations Would Not Award Criminals, It Would Help Victims

The current incarnation of the Republican Party has turned overt racism into an artform.

Former Auburn University and Texas Tech football coach and current Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) recently stated that giving reparations to the descendants of slaves would be the equivalent to giving money to criminals.

The Democratic Party, they have the majority, they could stop crime today. Some people say, well, they’re soft on crime. No, they’re not soft on crime, they’re pro crime. They want crime because they want to take over what you got. They want to control what you have. They want reparations because they think the people that do the crime are owed that. Bulls***. They are not owed that.”
