Donald Trump on Thursday releases another campaign video, in which he falsely accused President Joe Biden of creating a “sinister Marxist equity enforcement squad” for the executive branch, and demanded that Congress create a restitution fund for Americans who have been unjustly discriminated against by these equity policies.”
In his grievance-filled rant, the former president promised if voters return him to the Oval Office he will “immediately terminate” all staffers and programs associated with Biden’s “woke takeover of the entire federal government.”
“Every institution in America is under attack from this Marxist concept of equity instead of treating everyone equally, making decisions based on merit or qualifications,” Trump falsely claimed. “Equity means that benefits are awarded and policies are enforced based on skin color and sexual identity. We don’t think that’s a good idea. It’s a catch-all term used by the radical left to justify every one of its crazy programs.”
“Climate change is now about fighting environmental racism. They falsely accused law enforcement of racism to explain why they must end cash bail, instead of busting up bloodthirsty gangs that killed people,” Trump said.
Trump also accused Biden of “weaponizing every tool of government power to push this racism and this communism and Marxism” and “using FEMA, the EPA, the FAA, and the IRS to enforce his equity policies.”
He then called on Congress “to create a restitution fund for Americans who have been unjustly discriminated against by these equity policies.”
Reinforcing his far-right hard-line authoritarianism and lack of understanding of the power of the presidency, Trump said:
“I will instruct the Department of Justice to make clear that any such discrimination is completely and totally illegal and to investigate the unlawful domination and discrimination and civil rights abuses carried out by the Biden administration.”
Trump’s rant came in response to Biden signing an executive order last month to “Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through The Federal Government.”
To be clear, this is not as Trump describes.
“The term ‘equity’ means the consistent and systematic treatment of all individuals in a fair, just, and impartial manner, including individuals who belong to communities that often have been denied such treatment, such as Black, Latino, Indigenous and Native American, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander persons and other persons of color; members of religious minorities; women and girls; LGBTQI+ persons; persons with disabilities; persons who live in rural areas; persons who live in United States Territories; persons otherwise adversely affected by persistent poverty or inequality; and individuals who belong to multiple such communities.”
