On Friday’s “CNN News Central,” Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) said that there isn’t any evidence that China exercises control over the Panama Canal in a way that endangers American security, but there is a risk of a hit to America’s reputation if it looks like it’s bullying Panama.
Host Jessica Dean said, “I’m curious if you think there is legitimate concern about China’s influence on the Panama Canal.”
Auchincloss responded, “There are two shipping companies domiciled in Hong Kong that have a presence at the Panama Canal Zone, no evidence that I have seen that that represents a security threat to the United States. I actually, ten years ago, commanded a combined riverine training team. It combined Colombian and U.S. special operators to train the Panamanian Public Forces on how to do patrols on the Panama Canal Zone, and I found the Panamanians to be professional, to be pro-American. These are our allies. The world, Jessica, is complicated enough without picking fights with our friends. I would really encourage President Trump to look at the two hot wars that we’ve got to handle right now, one in Ukraine, one in the Middle East, and ensure that we are supporting Ukraine to unconditional victory and that we are supporting Israel now that it has the upper hand against Iran.”
Dean then asked, “Trump advisers are explaining this as a negotiating tactic that he’s using. And I hear you saying that the world is complicated enough. Do you agree with this sort of tactic? Do you think that that could be appropriate and bear fruit for America?”
Auchincloss answered, “No, because the Pax Americana, which has spread peace and prosperity globally for the last 70 years is based on the idea that America supports and respects the rule of law everywhere.

The CCP and the PLA are our friends, just ask them.
Chill, that big guy with the erect male genetalia in the girls locker room has not done anything wrong yet.
A somewhat attenuated Kennedy cousin, descended from Jackie’s stepfather. So sad that even Massachusetts seems to be running out of Kennedy family members to serve in public office /s

This confirms it’s a big problem.
They are to their democrat operatives.
So, Jake is the latest sacrificial lamb to squander whatever believability he has on the altar of RAT politics.
Someone needs to check Jakes bank accounts.
The Democrats are COMPLETLY GLOBALIST.
What reputation, ya jackwagon!?
You demoncraps have farked that up royally already.
And democrats know so much about damaging our reputation.
Patel should look into Jake’s finances.
Jake...just how many ways are you compromised, you backbench loser? Askin’ for a friend.
So hes on the payroll.
Each week we learn of more democrats who are in cahoots with the CCP or on the CCP payroll.
However, the CCP is also holding the covid saga over democrat’s heads.
The CCP KNOWS where the covid virus came from and the CCP also knows that our deep state democrats do NOT want US citizens to know the TRUTH.
“So hes on the payroll.”

My thought exactly..
Anything based in Hong Kong does China’s bidding. Otherwise, those companies risk being accused of not being patriots and/or violating Hong Kong’s National Security Law.
Sounds like the CCP has purchased another shill.
