Former Texas Congressman and current Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke was recently confronted by a voter over O’Rourke’s reported opposition to “traditional reparations” for slavery.
On the day of O’Rourke’s campaign announcement, The Associated Press reported that at a house party in Iowa, the candidate said he “is not in favor of traditional reparations for African-Americans for the legacy of slavery,” although the brief article did not quote O’Rourke directly.
