It might not be a democracy at all. We like to call those who lived during World War II the Greatest Generation, but that allows us to ignore the fact that many of this generation fought for democracy abroad, while brutally suppressing democracy for millions of American citizens,\u2019\u201d Wallace quoted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgain, I am in no way minimizing our terrible racial legacy. But in some of these things, aren\u2019t you overstating?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you have half of the country, where it\u2019s in some states majorities, in many other states pluralities, 25% of the population, 40% of the population cannot vote, have their vote violently suppressed, where they\u2019re a single one-party, one-race rule in a region where about 30% of the population is black. Would you consider that democracy?\u201d Hannah-Jones asked, turning the question back on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/chris-wallace\">Wallace<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Wallace pushed back, then, noting that there was once also a time when women did not have the right to vote in the United States, and Hannah-Jones argued that was not \u201cdemocracy\u201d either.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Chris Wallace Goes At Nikole Hannah-Jones for Claim Greatest Generation &#8216;Violently Suppressed&#8217; Black Voters in Heated CNN+ Exchange <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6q1RyKcwzi\">https:\/\/t.co\/6q1RyKcwzi<\/a> via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mediaite?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@mediaite<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/X95MhXtt7e\">pic.twitter.com\/X95MhXtt7e<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tommy moderna-vaX-Topher (@tommyxtopher) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tommyxtopher\/status\/1512108982822920205?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 7, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cBut here\u2019s where I take some objection. You\u2019re talking about if you say the country that we were fighting for democracy overseas, and we were not living in, walking the walk, talking the talk at home, I completely agree with you,\u201d Wallace continued. \u201cBut you specifically say the Greatest Generation brutally suppressing, many of this generation brutally suppressing democracy for millions of Americans. To me, and I think Tom Brokaw when he originally wrote the book, \u2018The Greatest Generation,\u2019 was talking about 20-year-olds, 30-year-olds who came out of the farm fields of the Midwest, who came out of ethnic neighborhoods in Brooklyn and South Philly and stormed the beaches of Normandy and and, you know, fought to defeat the most, the worst regime, I would argue in, in world history. And to say that they were 20, 30-year-olds, the country was brutally suppressing blacks, but the Greatest Generation wasn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, they were,\u201d Hannah-Jones objected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, they weren\u2019t, you\u2019re telling me that a farm, that a kid coming off a farm in Indiana or a kid who came from Brooklyn, is was suppressing black people,\u201d Wallace replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo Indiana had the largest population of the Klan in the United States. The Klan was reached first in Indiana,\u201d Hannah-Jones argued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI understand, but that wasn\u2019t the 20-year-old kid who risked his life,\u201d Wallace tried again, but Hannah-Jones interrupted: \u201cYou don\u2019t think 20-year olds were in the Klan?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t think many of them were, no,\u201d Wallace said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, I don\u2019t know what evidence you have of that,\u201d Hannah-Jones protested.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, what evidence do you have that they were, since you wrote it,\u201d Wallace shot back.<\/p>\n<p>Hannah-Jones said that she never claimed 20-year-olds were in the Klan, but Wallace pushed back: \u201cYou said many of this generation was brutally suppressing democracy for millions of Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that\u2019s factually inaccurate how?\u201d Hannah-Jones pressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just asking,\u201d Wallace continued. \u201cThat\u2019s a broad, a broad brush, that you\u2019re willing to paint, the 20- and 30-year-olds who defended democracy, I\u2019m not talking about the leaders. I\u2019m not talking about the laws. I\u2019m not talking about the country. I\u2019m talking about the young people who risked their lives. For instance, on the beaches of Normandy, they were brutally suppressing African Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/nikole-hannah-jones\">Hannah-Jones<\/a> went on to argue that it wasn\u2019t fair to draw a line and say that \u201cthe government was violently suppressing but everyone else, they weren\u2019t. They were glorious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She pointed to the fact that, during World War II, the military was still segregated, adding, \u201cThis trying to parse off who gets guilt or who does not for our collective history \u2014 we have to be more honest about piercing that mythology not to destroy our country, but to, if we can honestly face who we are, then we can actually become the country that we want to be. But we can\u2019t do that by suppressing the truth and to ask a black person whose view of the Greatest Generation was black people are getting lynched.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
