Human Rights Watch lists Trump as threat to human rights

By Brooke Seipel - 01/14/17 10:01 AM EST

Human Rights Watch is listing President-elect Donald Trump as a threat to human rights, calling his campaign a “vivid illustration of the politics of intolerance.”

“Donald Trump’s election as US president after a campaign fomenting hatred and intolerance, and the rising influence of political parties in Europe that reject universal rights, have put the postwar human rights system at risk,” the group said in a Friday statement announcing a new report.

The 687-page World Report analyzes Trump’s campaign, pointing to his rhetoric as a cause for worry over human rights violations.

“(Trump’s) campaign floated proposals that would harm millions of people, including plans to engage in massive deportations of immigrants, to curtail women’s rights and media freedoms, and to use torture,” the report says, quoting Human Rights Watch Executive Director Kenneth Roth.

“Unless Trump repudiates these proposals, his administration risks committing massive rights violations in the US and shirking a longstanding, bipartisan belief, however imperfectly applied, in a rights-based foreign policy agenda.”

So I guess the money and connections the Clintoons had from such enlightened places like Saudi Arabia and Morocco probably would not have been taken into consideration by these folks?

The Human Rights Watch and others like it hopefully will no longer be politically correct in order to get donations, certainly not federal taxpayer money. What an idiotic stance to take.....

I guess this is the opposite of getting the Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing.

What is going to happen is this "Human Rights Watch" is going to be utterly repudiated by a return to the normalcy of common sense and morality.

HRW has no purview in demanding or requiring anything. They exist to sustain themselves and continue their existence, period. It is no wonder that the first thing that pops up when you go to their site is a damn donation page.

A nuclear reactor meltdown is nowhere close to the leftist meltdown occurring before our eyes. Keep it going you lefty idiots. More lefty political losses and less lefty influence in our lives the better.

Not a lick, not a smidgen, not a morsel of truth in this George-Soros-funded organization.

Trump needs to go after Soros personally.

Send “Human Rights” Watch Executive Director Kenneth Roth to Gitmo and waterboard his a$$.

Hey Kenny, as I said last year,
“Trump 2016. Because, F-— You!”

Yet, 0bama wasn’t listed in all this time? The Nobel Piss-Prize Winner who droned innocent women and children? The 0bama that insisted women can kill their unborn children up to and right after birth? That one?

*SPIT*

These people are insane.

Where was this Human Rights Group while those girls in Europe were being raped ? When Ministers and Nuns were being murdered or burnt alive ? When groups of ‘teens’ were burning down businesses, and raping/torturing white girls ?
