He tweeted, &#8220;This July 4th, we must remember that we stand on stolen land toiled by enslaved Africans and recommit ourselves to the fight for freedom, equality, &#038; justice so that these ideals are accessible to everyone, not just a privileged few.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Challenging the Founding Fathers<\/h3>\n<p>Similarly, Bush took to social media to admonish the Declaration of Independence and its authors. She boldly stated, &#8220;The Declaration of Independence was written by enslavers and didn\u2019t recognize Black people as human.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As a prominent figure in the Black Lives Matter movement, Bush added, &#8220;Today is a great day to demand Reparations Now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As members of the progressive &#8220;Squad,&#8221; Bowman and Bush consistently advocate for issues like reparations and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fourth-of-july-squad-members-scold-america-for-stolen-land-and-slavery\/\" title=\"'Fourth of July: 'Squad' members criticize America for historical injustices.'\">climate change policies akin<\/a> to the Green New Deal.<\/p>\n<p>Bowman, known for his outspoken nature, frequently engages in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/george-gascons-journey-from-good-cop-to-bad-prosecutor\/\" title=\"George Gasc\u00f3n\u2019s Journey From Good Cop to Bad Prosecutor\">public clashes<\/a> with Republicans such as Rep.
