Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) faced backlash on Independence Day for demanding that the U.S. pay reparations to black people.

“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.”

The response to her tweet was overwhelmingly negative as most of the responses were hostile.

“Don’t you think more than enough white people paid for it with their blood during the Civil War?” writer Ian Miles Cheong asked.

Jeremy Redfern, press secretary for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, tweeted: “You’re gonna need reparations for this ratio.”

“Today is a great day to shut the f*** up,” another account tweeted.

Chris Loesch responded, “This is rubbish. Cori has no knowledge of what the framers did or didn’t believe evidently or what their efforts were. She should understand why people like Frederick Douglass honored and revered them.”

Political strategist Ryan Girdusky tweeted, “People like Cori Bush could never build anything as great as what she’s trying to destroy.”

“Shut up you buffoonette,” said attorney and columnist Kurt Schlichter.

Political commentator Varad Mehta added: “Just an absolute pile of rancid filth.”

“Of the 56, 11 signers were guilty of enslaving others,” Libby Emmons, editor-in-chief of The Post Millennial, tweeted. “Jefferson’s clause about the need to abolish slavery was removed from the document in order to appease the colonies that backed the practice. Adams, Franklin and 2 others were abolitionists.”

Podcast giant Joe Rogan said during a recent broadcast on his industry leading podcast that Anheuser-Busch’s Bud Light brand “can’t win” back the support that they once had because any action that they take is going to further offend a segment of drinkers.

Rogan made the remarks during an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” this week with comic and actor Tom Segura while talking about how people are making parody commercials of Bud Light.

“They’re making these like very subtle commercials that are like, ‘nothing goes with wieners like Bud Light,'” he said. “And it’s like two hot dogs. People are like, what is this? Is this real, is this parody account? And it is a parody. But it’s subtle.”

Rogan noted that the company has lost approximately $26 billion in market value since controversy erupted after Bud Light partnered with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney for a paid marketing engagement.

“And then the trans movement got mad that they didn’t support Dylan Mulvaney,” Rogan said. “So a lot of like, LBGTQ [sic] and whatever the other letters are, those bars stopped carrying Bud Light because they felt like Bud Light didn’t back them up.”

“And then there was video footage of [Bud Light] sponsoring a Pride parade,” he continued. “So it’s like a Bud Light parade truck with a bunch of people dancing around. Like, ‘we like to f*** guys, too.’ And, ‘I’m a girl and I like to f*** girls.’ Like it’s whatever it is. It’s like they’re like dancing around inside this. So they’re now advertising in front of the product people.”

Rogan then noted that the people who were angered over the Mulvaney issue saw Bud Light’s move with the Pride parade as the company doubling down.

“And so then the people are like, ‘they’re f***ing doubling down.’ They can’t win,” he said. “So, the pride people are mad.”

Rogan and Segura then briefly discussed how “weird” and “wild” it was that the LGBT community hijacked the word “pride.”
