‘Blatant violation’: Congressional delegation pushes to kill Biden scheme harming whites
A congressional delegation, Reps. Tony Wied, Derrick Van Orden, Thomas Tiffany, Bryan Steil, Glenn Grothman and Scott Fitzgerald, all of Wisconsin, is urging the U.S. Department of Agriculture to end a program imposed under the Joe Biden administration that discriminates, unlawfully, against victims based on race and sex.
The case concerns Adam Faust, a dairy farmer from Chilton, Wisconsin.
“Mr. Faust has been subjected to protected class-based discrimination by USDA. Specifically, he is ineligible for certain USDA programs based on his race and sex,” the members explained in a letter to Brooke Rollins, President Donald Trump’s secretary of Agriculture.
The delegation points out that Trump, in fact, “has taken bold and decisive action to eliminate racially discriminatory policies within the executive branch.” And the letter said USDA should comply with orders to “eliminate racially discriminatory policies … .”
The problem, the letter explains, is that, “Mr. Faust is ineligible for loan guarantees and grants on equal terms with non-white farmers. Mr. Faust is also charged a fee for the Dairy Margin Coverage Program, while non-white farmers are not. He is one of the 2 million white male American farmers—representing more than 60% of all American farmers—who are still subject to lasting discriminatory policies instituted by the Biden administration.”
The letter said, “Mr. Faust’s case is particularly worthy of your attention because this is not the first time he has been subjected to USDA’s race-based policies. He was the first farmer in America to challenge President Biden and his administration’s discriminatory and unconstitutional $4 billion farmer loan forgiveness program. Mr. Faust won a nationwide temporary restraining order (TRO)—the first in the country —halting President Biden’s racially selective loan forgiveness initiative.”
The delegating is seeking a review of the situation and “prompt reform” of potentially discriminatory programs.
According to the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, which has worked on the case, The Trump administration “has taken many commendable steps to root out race discrimination in many agencies; however, race-based policies and programs persist. USDA is the worst offender, running over two dozen race-based programs that unconstitutionally discriminate against farmers and ranchers every day.”
Dan Lennington, deputy counsel for WILL, said, “While the Trump administration has made progress against government-sponsored discrimination, the USDA remains a glaring holdout, inflicting economic pain on millions of farmers based on their race. This isn’t just bad policy, it’s a blatant violation of the Constitution. We commend the Wisconsin delegation for their support of Mr. Faust and farmers across Wisconsin.”
