Former Minister of Labour Robert Reich has explained why he believes Republican claims of patriotism are false.
“Republicans claim they love America. But they certainly don’t seem to love the American people,” Reich, who served under President Bill Clinton, began a shared video on his YouTube channel on Monday.
Reich broke down how Republicans routinely oppose reforms that would benefit the majority of Americans, attack cities and rural areas, harm the country they claim so much about rolling back environmental regulations, and even shun democracy itself.
“It’s time to stop letting Republicans claim the mantle of patriotism without actually being patriots,” Reich said.
“Now is the time for the rest of us to reclaim patriotism and affirm its true meaning,” concluded the former cabinet secretary.
