BPR "Fox News commentator Brit Hume slammed the leftist Squad for getting far more attention than they deserve and for having no historical knowledge of how the civil rights movement came into being or what racism really entails.
"Monday, on Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Hume gave his opinion on Rep. Cori Bush’s outrageously anti-American and racist tweet where she proclaimed that black people were not “free.”
“ 'When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they’re referring to is for White people. This land is stolen land and Black people still aren’t free,” Bush explosively asserted on Independence Day.
"Hume started out by saying, “You know, the one thing that you never hear critics of this country, along the lines we just heard in Anita’s report, never hear them cite is some country which measures up to their standards. You never hear of another country that is doing a better job of it than we have. And there’s a reason for that. I can think of no nation on earth, perhaps no nation in history, that has tried harder or done more to bring its minority populations into the mainstream of the country with all of its freedoms and advantages. And in fact, you know, it hasn’t been all that long ago that slavery, which has been talked about more today than perhaps the Civil War, was universal… it was everywhere. Going back to biblical times, it was everywhere. This country has gone a long way, longer than I think any nation, to remedy the ills that grew out of it. The lack of freedoms, the severe violation of human rights. You never hear these critics say ‘Well, we’d rather be like this country or that country.’ They can’t in my view,” Hume declared.". . .
