America’s 250th anniversary is here and so Democrats are doing the predictable thing and attacking America, as could be seen when Pennsylvania state Rep. Chris Rabb, the Democrat nominee for Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District, went on a lengthy tirade attacking everything from the Declaration of Independence to “American exceptionalism” while demanding reparations.
Those comments came when Rabb, who is expected to be elected to Congress in November because he is running unopposed in the heavily Democratic 3rd Congressional District of Pennsylvania, which is in the Philadelphia area, spoke at a panel held on June 26 at People’s Plaza on Independence Mall in Philadelphia.
The panel was titled, “America at 250 — Trump Fascism, Historical Erasure, and the Battle Over Truth” and, as could be entirely expected from the present left, was a lengthy and rambling attack against every aspect of the American identity, from capitalism to liberty, delivered with a race-oriented bent.
Rambling at one point about the Declaration of Independence, for example, the angry Democrat insisted that it was full of “screeds that were very lofty but were notoriously catering to a performative aspect of collective genius that purposely erased indigenous and black peoples.”
Continuing, Rabb attacked the Founding Fathers for being successful and powerful, saying, “It created distance from an empire to help very privileged people continue that privilege and ultimately institutionalize that through the U.S. Constitution many years later.”
Then, doing the usual Democrat thing and rambling about slavery, American Indians, and the like as a way of denouncing the Declaration and its author, he said, “But it certainly did not provide independence to indigenous and black peoples. And we cannot talk about anything today without acknowledging that this is a nation born on stolen land & stolen labor.”

That wasn’t all. The radical Democrat then went on to insist that he will use his position in Congress to fight for reparations, saying, “I will be one of the few unapologetic reparationists going to Congress.” He added, “Reparations is not something that repairs black people. It repairs society itself. And that benefits everyone. Everyone.”
Not done there, Rabb went on to insist that the Founders built “fascism” into our nation, declaring, bizarrely, given that fascism wasn’t even created until about a century and a half after the Declaration of Independence, “Fascism is not new. These systems of harm are built into the very fabric of this nation.”
He then insisted, demanding that Americans reject the “American narrative” regarding American exceptionalism, “You cannot kill the beast until you name it. And that is difficult for many people who want to embrace certain tropes, certain narratives, whether it’s the American dream or American exceptionalism or the Protestant work ethic or so many other myths that do us no — they are a disservice.”
Skewering him on X, one commenter wrote, “F this guy and his rich people nonsense. I had 18 PA ancestors (farmers/traders/local store workers) who fought for their god given (not government given) right to independence.”
