Joy Reid's Fourth of July Claim vs. Black Military History
At 18:45 · chapter starts 13:00
Joy Reid told her audience that the Fourth of July is essentially a slaveholders' holiday, citing Frederick Douglass — and that she doesn't know a single Black American who is genuinely excited about it. Bongino calls it the no-true-Scotsman fallacy in action and then goes deep into history. He urges viewers to look up the Harlem Hellfighters — the 369th Infantry Regiment, the 15th New York National Guard, who fought in some of World War I's most brutal battles. Then the Civil War's Battle of New Market Heights, where Black Union soldiers earned 14 Medals of Honor. His argument: the left selectively presents atrocity without valor to keep Black Americans locked in rage and politically captive. This is, he says, how you run on bad ideas without ever debating them. [1] — Dan Bongino "Joy Reid told viewers no Black American she knows celebrates the Fourth of July.

Experts project New York will lose 2 congressional seats due to population decline, which Bongino tied to socialist governance driving residents out.
Joy Reid told viewers no Black American she knows celebrates the Fourth of July. Bongino responds with the Harlem Hellfighters, the 369th Infantry Regiment, and the Battle of New Market Heights — where 14 Medals of Honor were awarded to Black soldiers — arguing Reid deliberately hides this heroism to stoke rage.
At the Civil War Battle of New Market Heights, 14 Medals of Honor were awarded to Black soldiers — a fact Bongino cited to counter Joy Reid's characterization of American history.
