Would he sign that if it came to his desk?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, he\u2019s supported a study of reparations, which is I believe is what\u2019s being discussed, and studying the continuing impacts of slavery, which is being discussed in this hearing on H.R. 40, I believe it is,\u201d Psaki responded. \u201cAnd he continues to demonstrate his commitment to take comprehensive action to address the systemic racism that persists today.\u00a0 Obviously, that is \u2014 having that study is a part of that, but he has signed an executive order on his first day, which would begin to deliver on his commitment to having an across-government approach to addressing racial inequality and making sure equity is a part of his entire policy agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When the reporter further pressed Psaki on why Biden doesn\u2019t create a commission by executive order, Psaki responded, \u201cHe actually signed a number of actions on racial equity in \u2014 on his first day or his first couple of days in office because he felt it was essential to send the message to the American people and the world that having an across-government approach, ensuring that equity is a central part of his policy agenda was, you know, not just a single \u2014 a singular issue but something that would be a part of every policy issue he approaches, whether it\u2019s healthcare, whether it\u2019s economic inequality, a range of issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added, \u201cThat\u2019s his approach and how he\u2019s trying to, you know, change \u2014 address the root causes of racism in our country today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
