Dems are such liars.
I don’t think we really need a full-blown embassy at the Vatican either. I would also zero out the one at the Hague and at the UN.
It is unsafe because the Pope might just show up and all the gay diplomats might get their little feelings hurt. More cock and bull coming from DC. Rome is probably safer than DC!
Holy water is fatal to all those Obamunists.

A week before the government shutdown kicked in on October 1, the State Department awarded a five-year, maximum $5 million contract for custom handcrafted crystal stem and barware from Simon Pearce, a democratic campaign doner.

Oh good grief! They’re not closing the embassy. They’re moving the operations to a different location. Same people. Same operations. Slightly closer to the Vatican. Much ado about nothing.

Yes, they’re closing the embassy within the Vatican.
How would you feel if a foreign embassy took their offices off US soil?
