Rep. Owens: The Left Is Against Any Policy That Helps Black Americans Become Independent
Rep. Burgess Owens who is a Republican out of Utah told Tucker Carlson on Tuesday night that the biggest threat to the political left is having more Black Americans moving into the middle class and having faith.
Rep. Owens brought this up because of illegal immigration doing ‘harm’ on the Black community where he said, “The greatest threat to the left is a middle class Black American, those who have have faith, they have a family, they’re educated, and they believe in a God, and they believe in the free market.”
The congressman also called out how ‘leftists have never been” friends with the Black community because they’re the one ‘anti choice, open borders’ that know it will hurt those trying to get up the ladder in the middle class.
“They’re against anything, any policy that helps us to become independent, and that is what the left is trying to do to our country. So, I want to be the greatest warning boy, to let you know from from a community that was remarkably competitive, the most competitive in our country during the 60s, that is now not so competitive because of what the left has done, what they’ve done to us is a preview of what they’re trying to do our country.”
