McCarthy Likens Critical Race Theory To ‘State-Sponsored Racism’

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) claims that critical race theory has become the “governing ideology” of President Joe Biden’s administration.

During a speech on the House floor, the California Republican said he supports removing Confederate statues in the U.S. Capitol.

He went on to claim that Democrats are “replacing the racism of the past with the racism of the critical race theory.”

He noted Kiran Ahuja, Biden’s nominee to run the Office of Personnel Management, argued prior to her nomination that, “We must do everything in our collective power to realize Dr. Kendi’s vision for America.”

The Senate confirmed Ahuja on June 22.

McCarthy highlighted a portion of Ibram X. Kendi’s book “How to Be an Antiracist,” which he claimed encompasses the author’s vision for America, “The solution to past discrimination is present discrimination.”

He also noted that the Navy included Kendi’s book on a reading list. He added, “Critical race theory is the governing ideology we’re now finding in the Biden administration. By advocating for it, Democrats continue to fuel hatred and division across the country.”
