Republicans Bachmann, King, and Goodlatte lead charge
Daily Caller ^ | 2019/09/29

Three Republican congressmen are calling on the Obama administration to launch an investigation into allegations of widespread fraud into a long fought farmer discrimination suit known as Pigford vs. Glickman. Republican Reps. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, Steve King of Iowa, and Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, want to know how it is that over 94,000 black farmers have sought reparations for discrimination, when data show that there are only 33,000 black farmers in the United States?

Could it be that many of them filed several lawsuits? Not saying that must have been the answer, just point out the possibility.

Class action lawsuit rife with fraud. Lawyers trolled black churches signing up folks to get their reparations.

Odumbo is up to his ears in this one.

I’ve read elsewhere that with the documentation lost, they are accepting claims from any blacks who will have two witnesses attest to their having been black farmers who had applied for a loan. Apparently everyone and his brother has been jumping in on the huge free money.

They are people who “would have” become farmers, but were discouraged by reports of racism in the awarding of government handouts. Seriously.

Reparations by another name.
