Former UN ambassador and 2024 GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley blasted squad member Cori Bush on Wednesday for a tweet the Missouri congresswoman sent on the Fourth of July.
“The Declaration of Independence was written by enslavers and didn’t recognize Black people as human,” she claimed. “Today is a great day to demand Reparations Now.”
Haley fired back.
“My husband and his unit are deployed right now defending the greatest country on Earth and protecting every American’s freedom… including this ungrateful congresswoman’s right to hate on America.”

Rep. Bush wasn’t the only leftist to share anti-American sentiments on Twitter; New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman weighed in as well.
“This July 4th, we must remember that we stand on stolen land toiled by enslaved Africans and recommit ourselves to the fight for freedom, equality, & justice so that these ideals are accessible to everyone, not just a privileged few. We are not free until everyone is truly free.”

“Americans’ false belief that this country has been on a steady progression toward granting equal rights to all since its founding is exactly what inspires complacency in this hour as the Supreme Court replaces the constitution with themselves,” tweeted progressive activist Bree Newsome Bass.
