Video- Fox Calls Discrimination Settlement Against Hispanics And Women “Reparations”

Sad to see Sanchez falling victim to the Fox bullshit.

Fox News lifted part of a Wall Street Journal opinion piece to attack a federal farm subsidy program at the U.S. Department of Agriculture while Fox News Latino contributor Rick Sanchez dismissed the USDA’s history of discriminating against female and Hispanic farmers.

The USDA is currently allowing female and Hispanic farmers to apply for claims of up to $50,000 if they were previously unfairly treated during the federal farm subsidy loan process because of discriminatory practices at the USDA. According to the checklist included in the claim application, applicants must submit official documentation of discrimination — such as a notarized witness statement, and in some cases a copy of their original loan application — before their claim can be deemed eligible for review.

I would think that a vote for the Violence Against Women act would be a ‘no-brainer’ for Republicans.  Apparently not. .
