Democrat Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina appeared on ‘The View’ on Monday and claimed that Republicans are trying to bring back slavery.
This is not only insane and untrue, it’s a complete perversion of history. The Republican Party was founded to end slavery in the United States. Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president, who fought the Democrats on the issue of slavery, which escalated into the American Civil War.
Democrats do this all the time. In 2012, Joe Biden famously said to a mostly black audience that Republicans want to ‘put y’all back in chains.’
Clyburn knows better than this. They all do.
From Nicholas Fondacaro on Twitter/X:
“Anything that’s happened before can happen again. (…) They were trying to set up a process that will allow this country to return to what it was in 1876 when the election got thrown into the House of Representatives and they were able to overturn what Abraham Lincoln and the Congress had done successfully getting rid of slavery. That is what they’re attempting to do today. I get sick and tired of hearing people say this ‘it’s never been like this before,’ Yes, it has!”
Watch as Whoopi and the other hosts nod along to this historical revisionism:

Sunny Hostin joined in saying that the Trump administration is trying to erase black history.
NewsBusters reports:
HOSTIN: Now, they are significant figures in black history, which is American history, something this administration is trying to erase under the guise of eradicating diversity, equity, and inclusion. What is your reaction to these efforts?
CLYBURN: Well, my reaction is very clear, we cannot allow it to be done. And I think that we as activists, I’m elected, but I’m a very much an activist. Those people who are concerned about their future for their children and their grandchildren, we have a role to play that we should not ever set aside.
