Reporter asks McConnell if Trump or Congress should apologize for slavery and offer reparations — Here’s his awesome response…

You might feel like we’ve just traveled back in time 150 years, because Democrats in the House are holding a hearing tomorrow on reparations and slavery.

Today a reporter asked McConnell how he feels about the subject and whether Congress or Trump should apologize for slavery:

Despite his diplomacy, I love his answer which is quite to the point: “Yeah I don’t think reparations for something that happened 150 years ago for whom none of us currently living are responsible is a good idea.”

McConnell points out that America has tried to deal with this in the past by fighting a civil war and then passing landmark civil rights legislation. He goes on to say “but no one currently alive was responsible for that.”

That’s exactly right. Democrats just can’t let go of their victim mentality despite the fact that slavery is long ago dead and well into America’s past. And I’m glad McConnell put the kibosh on this so succinctly.
