Joe Biden: 1776 Commission ‘Offensive’ and ‘Counterfactual’
26 Jan 2021
President Joe Biden said Tuesday he is abolishing the Trump administration’s 1776 Commission, which, he stated, is “offensive” and “counterfactual.”
During his remarks on his racial equity agenda, Biden said:
Look, in the weeks ahead. I’ll be reaffirming the federal government’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion and accessibility, building on the work we started in the Obama-Biden administration. That’s why I’m rescinding the previous administration’s harmful ban on diversity and sensitivity training and abolish the offensive counterfactual 1776 commission. Unity and healing must begin with understanding and truth, not ignorance, and lies.
