Curious how many people caught this reference about people in Georgia who claim "we were here also" and will "take over your farm" under the Democrats.
2/ Confiscations of white farms in southern Africa is a huge topic on the white supremacist right in the US. He's dog whistling that, saying that slave reparations will mean black folks will be given your farm.
3/ remember this?

I have asked Secretary of State @SecPompeo to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers. South African Government is now seizing land from white farmers. @TuckerCarlson @FoxNews
