United States Senator from Missouri says America only for whites [View all]

Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt did not use the exact phrase "America Whiteland," but he has received significant criticism for a recent speech that many observers interpreted as promoting white nationalism.
Details of the controversy
The speech: On September 3, 2025, Schmitt delivered a speech at the National Conservatism conference where he described America as a "homeland" inherited from "ancestors," belonging to "us".
Omission of non-white people: In his remarks, Schmitt did not include non-white people in his definition of true Americans and failed to mention the country's diverse history. He focused exclusively on his German forebears and praised the European heritage of others, which many took as an explicit and exclusionary message.

Because of what happened in 2016 that you’ve all heard me say over and over and over, we are now looking at the possibility in the very near future of all non-white people being slaves.

Some of us started yelling about this eight years ago.
Go ahead, tell me it’s not possible.
