Chancellor Merkel’s repudiation of Pres. Trump’s racist comments is stunning. She defends the values of the West and for the first time a modern American President does not.
German chancellor Merkel on Trump's racist attacks on female members of Congress: "I firmly distance myself from that and declare my solidarity with these attacked women." @AOC@IlhanMN@RashidaTlaib@AyannaPressley
On 9/11, when I was U.S. Ambassador to #NATO, the very first country that came to our defense was #Canada. Canadian forces then fought with us in Afghanistan. Lesson for Americans: Treasure our allies. Respect them. They’re on our side.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile but is morally treasonable to the American public.” Theodore Roosevelt
Anyone listening to Vindman stammer through this seemingly trying to remember the Catch Phrases he was well coached on should get that.
He’s a low level partisan bureaucrat and nothing more.
Our case against lyin’, cheatin’, liddle’ Adam “Shifty” Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, Nervous Nancy Pelosi, their leader, dumb as a rock AOC, & the entire Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrat Party, starts today at 10:00 A.M. on @FoxNews, @OANN or Fake News @CNN or Fake News MSDNC!
#Canada spirited four American hostages out of Iran in 1979, welcomed thousands of stranded U.S. airline passengers on 9/11, has our back in every war, shares the world’s longest undefended border with us and a symbiotic North American economy. THE best neighbor we could have.
This speech by Secretary Pompeo is a major mistake. It politicizes his office, our relationship with Israel and does what he asked every State Department employee not to do—engage in partisan political activity in an election year.
On 9/11, I was the American Ambassador to #NATO. The first person to suggest NATO invoke Article 5 to defend the U.S. was Canadian Ambassador David Wright. Canadian forces have fought and died with us in Afghanistan. They are still there with us. Eternally grateful. #Canada

Still stunned by Trump’s attack on Masha Yovanovitch. By his contempt for the Foreign Service. By Pompeo’s failure to defend his own people. The silver lining is Americans have now seen—through Masha, George Kent and Bill Taylor—the value of patriotic nonpartisan diplomats.
This story hasn’t received sufficient attention: the Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Russia interfered in our 2016 election. An irrefutable, bipartisan conclusion. It turns out that facts matter. via @nytimes
This is a first in American history dating to 1789. An American President has asked our strongest adversary, a communist dictatorship, to investigate his major opponent. Let that sink in. It is corruption—morally and legally wrong.
This is beyond parody. Pres. Trump, under impeachment investigation for pressuring Ukraine to go after the Bidens, publicly asks China to go after the Bidens as well. The word "shameless" is inadequate.
Hamilton warned in 1792: “When a man unprincipled in private life...is seen to...flatter and fall in with all the nonsense of the zealots of the day—it may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may “ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.”
To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!
Lost in the Trump scandal over Ukraine are the national security implications. Trump has weakened our bipartisan support for Ukraine and benefited Putin in the process. American credibility with allies is plummeting. They don’t believe Trump is capable of doing the right thing.
