Why is Samantha Power gushing about Guatemala's new left-wing president?
American Thinker ^ | 16 Jan, 2024 | Monica Showalter

A day after President Trump's former National Intelligence Advisor Ric Grenell posted a series of tweets about disturbing U.S. embassy behavior in Guatemala City against its outgoing conservative president, in came the newly elected one, a leftist, and USAID Director Samantha Power sounded as though she had a color revolution going.

Her effusive, gushing tweets were unusual for a U.S. official about a Latin American country's election.

It started with the waiting, like this was a rock star ready to walk onto the stage: [many Samantha Power tweets, she was there]

The backdrop is that this was a bitterly disputed election, with the conservatives crying 'fraud' and attempting to make their views known in the streets and halls of the legislature.

Power, though, somehow had all the answers.

Did she count the ballots herself? There is no way she could have known that even if this wasn't a foreign country she doesn’t even speak the language of.

But all was free and fair, she claimed, much as Jimmy Carter once did during Hugo Chavez’s deeply disputed recall referendum of 2004.

Ric Grenell had a good observation, too, seeing something funny going on:

The Foreign Minister of Cuba and Samantha Power @PowerUSAID are united in their views that the Progressive Left in Guatemala won the election and must be put into power.

Cuba stands with Biden.

USAID Director Samantha Power serves the deep state and she is confident that Guatemala’s president elect will do likewise.

Just more proof, if anyone needs it, that the American Democrat party is communist to it’s core.

If it makes Samantha Powers or Victoria Nuland happy, the left and right hands of the devil are fully functional and on task.

The dream is to make “our democracy” just like those good old-fashioned Central American “democracies”.

Samantha Power is a leftwing nutjob who is married to another leftwing nutjob (Cass Sunstein). If she views someone favorably, you can bet that person is evil.

"Why is Samantha Power gushing about Guatemala's new left-wing president?

Ummmm. Boy. This is a hard one. I just cannot figure it out.

Oh. That's right. I remember.

Because Samantha Power and the newly elected Guatemalan President are both "Fellow Travelers".

That "Fellow Traveler" thing binds all Leftists together through thick and thin.

Even after hundreds of millions of deaths caused by their ideologic religion of Leftism, they will stick together.

USAID...
United States Agency for International Development
...an independent agency of the United States government

Employees at the State Department aren’t serious people. They’re either clownish fops or prancing monkeys. Their two common traits are incurable narcissism and operating at the lower end of the IQ scale.
