“CNN spokesperson Matt Dornic offered support for Cuomo, writing that he “defended himself when he was verbally attacked with the use of an ethnic slur in an orchestrated setup. We completely support him.””
It seems that this dope Trump appears to have triggered a recession ( there was probably one due anyway ) with his shiting on about trade wars just in time for the 2020 election.
Trump has intervened to prevent Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib travelling to Israel
That’s a full frontal attack on democracy
How weak is a president that intervenes to stop democratically elected congresswomen making official visits to another country
How weak is that country when it will not tolerate being questioned about its sectarian butchery
Tlaib has family in Palestine - last month Trump was telling her she should “go back where she came from”, despite being born in the US
Now he’s telling her she can’t go to her ancestral home
Israeli journalist:
Senior Palestinian politician Hanan Ashrawi called Israel’s decision to block Tlaib and Omar ’s trip “an outrageous act of hostility against the American people and their representatives.”
“This is a dangerous precedent that defies all diplomatic norms and an assault on the Palestinian people’s right to engage with the rest of the world,” Ashrawi said in a statement. “This trip was their right and duty as members of Congress, who oversee US policies and actions that affect Palestine, Israel, and countries worldwide. …
“Israel is fittingly acting like any other rogue state engaged in widespread and systematic human rights abuses, wanting to ensure that its violations remain obscured by all means possible, including coercion and censorship,” Ashrawi said, adding that Trump ’s comments on the matter amounted to “hateful incitement.”
