Democrat Senator Chris Coons dodges questions after trashing trump in Davos

After speaking to friendly media at the World Economic Forum, the Democrat senator refuses to answer Rebel News' questions and walks away.

The World Economic Forum in Davos attracts global elites eager to shape policy far from their voters — and U.S. politicians are no exception.

While outside the conference in Davos, Rebel News journalist Avi Yemini saw Democratic Senator Chris Coons of Delaware holding a media scrum where he was criticizing President Donald Trump and his foreign policy. When the interview ended, Avi approached the senator with a direct question.

"Is it appropriate for a sitting U.S. senator to debate internal American foreign policy — and attack the president — on the world stage in Davos?"

Rather than respond, Senator Coons refused to engage, walked away, and stayed close to friendly media. The contrast was unmistakable: tough questions are avoided, while softball interviews are welcomed.

Avi Mene for Rebel News in Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum of 2026.

And behind me we just witnessed a US Senator Democrat from Delaware giving an interview to a friendly journalist in which we overheard him trashing the US President and his current foreign policy. So we decided to hit him up after his interview.

Senator, Senator, do you think it's appropriate to be here in Davos to debate US foreign policies here in Davos? Do you think that's appropriate? Are you just here to trash Trump?

Do you think that's appropriate? You're meant to be representing the US. Why would you be here in Davos debating the foreign policy, the internal debates?

Senator, is there a reason why you don't want to... Do you only want to talk to friendly media? Why would you come here to debate your internal foreign policy?

Thank you. Take care.

There we go. You got a kiss from the journalists. Is that the kind of media that you're willing to do?

Senator, one comment, not for the economists. Look at that. One comment...

If you think it's important to hold these opportunistic politicians to account, make sure you like, comment and share. And then head over to wefreports.com. Check out all our reporting from here in Davos.

Many of us in Delaware wish he would stay there but unfortunately not enough to make him go away.

"Is it appropriate for a sitting U.S. senator to allow a senile, sniffy POS fake vice president get all handsy with his own daughter debate internal American foreign policy — and attack the president — on the world national stage in Davos Washington?"
