Since Trump has become President what number of assault are we up to? Amazing no one on the Left was attacked when Biden was President….. nor Obama… 🤔. Guess the Left will just blame the violent times we live in…..

> somehow entered the venue past multiple layers of security <

That’s quite a mystery.

Or maybe it isn’t.

It was female on female violence. A female probably didn’t raise a red flag.

“The official told Fox News Digital that she was walking down the hallway at the UN when a woman began berating her and shining a bright light in her face.”

I understand the US contributes more than $13 billion to the UN annual budget. Trump should simply cut $1 billion for each infraction, until they learn to behave.
So far, that’s $1 billion for this incident
$1 billion for the escalator
$1 billion for the auto-prompt
$1 billion for the sound system

any more tricks, UN?

well, both sides do it!

Maybe Jimmy Kimmel will say it was a MAGA activist who followed Senator Kyrsten Sinema into an Arizona State University bathroom back in 2021 to hound her on her immigration position.

Just end the UN.

Withdraw all funding, resign from it, kick them out of US.

Now is the time.

Perhaps a foreign individual with diplomatic immunity?

There was an episode of Blue Bloods that addressed this.

The UN has been a major organizer and funder of the illegal invasion of the US. We need out of the UN and the UN out of the US.

Wonder what the purpose of the bright light was... trying to blind her, like with a laser pointer? Or was it the “flahlight” on a smart phone?

I understand real estate in Port Au Prince is fairly inexpensive. Perhaps the Clinton Global Initiative could help with the purchase, I understand they do a lot of work in Haiti.

By treaty, the UN is considered “international territory” and is therefore exempted from local laws.

Yet another reason to kick the whole corrupt kit and caboodle out of the country.
