INSANITY: Democrat Rep. Summer Lee to Introduce “Reparations Now” Resolution Demanding TRILLIONS from U.S. Taxpayers for Slavery That Ended 160 Years Ago

Far-left Democrat Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) announced she will introduce the “Reparations Now Resolution” on Thursday—demanding trillions of dollars be handed out to Black Americans in the name of so-called “racial justice.”

The radical push was unveiled during a congressional race grievance circus hosted by Democrat Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) on Tuesday, May 13, titled “Why We Can’t Wait: Advancing Reparative Justice in Our Lifetime.”

Booker was joined by the usual far-left suspects: Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA), and Summer Lee.

According to its press release:

The briefing will highlight the urgent need for federal legislative action to address historical and systemic racial injustices. Key federal legislation includes:

  • S.40 / H.R. 40 – Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act (Sen. Cory Booker, Rep. Ayanna Pressley)
  • Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT) Commission Act (Sen. Cory Booker,  Rep. Jasmine Crockett)
  • S. 1051 – Historic Greenwood District – Black Wall Street National Monument Establishment Act (Sen. Cory Booker, Sen. James Lankford)
  • Reparations Now Resolution (Rep. Summer Lee)
  • G.I. (Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren of the Institutionalized Generation) Restoration Act (Sen. Raphael Warnock)
  • Restoring Artistic Protection (RAP) Act (Rep. Hank Johnson)
  • Tulsa-Greenwood Claims Accountability Act (Rep. Hank Johnson)
  • H.J.Res.67 – Original Slavery Remembrance Month Resolution (Rep. Al Green)

During the event, Lee boldly declared that Americans have a “moral and legal obligation” to pay reparations, according to Fox News.

She called for the total reconstruction of American society — not to serve all Americans, but to cater to a progressive agenda based on grievance politics.

She went on to suggest that “restoring Black folks” requires a vast and “substantive” redistribution of wealth.

The resolution itself cites slavery, Jim Crow laws, redlining, and so-called “systemic racism” as justification for this unprecedented financial demand. But what it fails to mention is that no living American has ever owned a slave, and this push for reparations would punish millions of Americans — including veterans, and working-class families — for sins they never committed.

Fox News reported:

 She argues that reparations are a “moral and legal obligation” for Americans.

“This is a moment in time where societies are shaped [and] new societies are built. We should be the ones who are shaping it,” said Lee.

“Their real intention is to build up whatever comes next in their image,” she said, referring to the Trump administration, “and we better fight like hell to make sure that we’re building it in our image.”

Lee added that “it took nothing but a stroke of a pen,” for President Donald Trump to dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs across the federal government.

“That’s why we recognize that the fight to restore Black folks has to be so much more substantive,” she added.

The “Reparations Now Resolution” corresponds to H.Res. 414 in the 118th Congress, which recognizes that the United States has a moral and legal obligation to provide reparations for the enslavement of Africans and its ongoing harms to their descendants.

Originally introduced on May 17, 2023 by Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) and co-sponsored by Reps. Summer Lee (D-PA), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and others, the resolution was referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
