The absence of the leader of the French nationalist right wing party has nothing to do with the leader of the supposed world’s greatest republic, not taking his place amongst leaders of other free nations in sending a message to those who are hell bent on killing free spèech in the west. When did any US leader ever boycott an event because LePen wasn’t invited?
A political rally involving some 40 heads of state standing g up for free speech, after journalists have been slaughtered for exercising their right to free speech? You bet.
No U.S. leader should ever feel obligated to show his face at that kind of silly crap. This is why the rally wasn't even attended by U.S. leaders who have criticized other U.S. leaders for failing to attend.
WHY WASN'T TED CRUZ THERE, IF HE THOUGHT IT WAS SO IMPORTANT?
It's pathetic how many conservatives have bought into this blatant political posturing.
