As the hearing was starting Democrat Squad member Cori Bush accused Alex Epstein of being a racist for his views supporting the Western tradition of individual rights and capitalism. She was referencing an article he wrote in college in 2002 for her racist attack on Epstein. Alex Epstein immediately shot back at Bush when he was given the floor and it was delicious. If Cori Bush had the intellectual heft to understand his arguments she would have been embarrassed. Alex Epstein: Thanks for giving a moment to address a truly despicable and false attack on me claiming anything Ive ever said is white supremacist and then try to imply that somehow applies today, Epstein said. What I argued for my entire adult life is that Western culture is superior in the sense that it promotes individualism and freedom. And I have fought my entire life for freedom around the world including in Africa, including in Asia, including in India. There are different places around the world that are in many ways inferior, Epstein continued. They have female genital mutilation, they have slavery. These are not as good as not mutilating females gentiles and not enslaving people. So I make no apology. The idea that this is associated with skin color is despicable and racist. Skin color has nothing to do with ideas. Where you came from geographically is irrelevant. Whats relevant is whats true. That was an insane diversion from the truth. Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein When I agreed to testify about the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, I didn't expect the hearing's lead Democrat, @CoriBush, to make a prepared statement falsely accusing me of having "espoused White Supremacist views"! Fortunately, I got the chance to respond. Here's how it went. https://twitter.com/i/status/1633852766480375808 Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
