Yvette Clarke: Free The Slaves From The Dutch

Congresswoman Yvette Clarke is a Democrat who represents New York’s 11th District which is in Brooklyn. She consented to an interview with Steve Colbert of Comedy Central and when prompted about what she would do if she could return to 1898 when the borough became part of New York City said that she would free the slaves from the Dutch.

See it yourself.
