United Nations refugee chief Filippo Grandi warned on Tuesday that a deadly attack on two New Zealand mosques was the result of the worst toxicity in politics and media toward refugees, migrants and foreigners that he had witnessed in more than 30 years. […]

Funny, but I don’t remember this guy saying anything after a Muslim shoots up a building, or sets off a bomb near a marathon, or runs over a group of people with a van, etc.

The only “discussions” I hear are social justice warriors screaming “racist, fascist” at anyone who disagrees with them.

If nations don’t have defensible borders they are nations no longer.

Oh, yeah, maybe that is the agenda of the UN.

So, we are supposed to roll over and kowtow to evil, violent extremists? No thanks. A good quote from Winston Churchill:

“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile hoping it will eat him last.”

He's blaming toxicity while generating even more of it.

After Trump finishes his second term as President, we should nominate him as Secretary-General of the UN.
Maybe he can clean out scoundrels like this who always dream up backwards explanations.

Now that NZ is confiscating the rifles of the people, the Maoris may have a good chance to get their island nation back.
