An Ohio Republican Senate candidate publicly wondered why white Americans don’t get reparations if they’re descendants of white Union soldiers who died during the Civil War.

During a campaign rally last week in which he announced his 2024 candidacy, Republican Bernie Moreno asked why white people don’t get, or are asking for, reparations. He’s campaigning for the seat currently held by Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio).
