And I'm gonna be real with you, Don, as somebody that serves on the oversight committee, we know that yesterday he said, stop talking about the Epstein files, stop talking about the Epstein files, stop talking about the Epstein files.
And guess what?
He is the king of distraction and he knows how to get us talking about something other than the Epstein files.
Is it new that he's racist?
Absolutely not.
This is not new.
This is actually on brand for him.
So for him, he doesn't care, right?
Like he doesn't care if people call him racist.
But what he does care about is more of those files coming out, people having more time to pour through them, people realizing that the government messed up on certain redactions, that kind of stuff.
I think that that's what we see going on.
But, you know, I do want to address the Black farmer situation really quickly because I'm going to have to jump.
um again this goes to a pattern a pattern that we've seen in this country and i served on the agriculture committee and under the biden harris administration they were trying to write a lot of wrongs that a lot of people don't even understand they were doing whether it was disconnecting of our communities with highways being driven through them by giving out reconnecting community grants
to which my district ended up with the second largest investment of over 30 million dollars.
And then we had our black farmers, those that were denied access to funds.
And granted, they did not get the amount of dollars that they would have gotten if they had actually just been given access to the same capital so that they will be in the same place as their white counterparts and being able to grow their farms.
They didn't have that.
But they did recognize that there was intentional discrimination on behalf of the government.
And so they wanted to go back and try to right those wrongs.
It is time for us to stop trying to act like if we just talk nice enough, then certain people are going to be good to us.
