Horowitz claimed the statute of limitations has run out on the issue, that the current stockholders have no responsibility for what companies might have done, and, most abstractly, that the debt has already been made up.

"It seems to me that suing corporations has the problem that the stockholders of these corporations are not people who were ever involved with slavery," said Horowitz.

Furthermore, Horowitz took issue with the wealth of the "dream team."

"These lawyers are all multi-millionaires-so it's unseemly and it's

hypocritical of them to be suing," he said.
