UN Deletes Pro-Antifa Tweet After Massive Public Backlash
Breitbart ^ | 6/21/2020 | Kurt Zindulka

Posted on 06/21/2020 7:32:42 PM PDT by bitt

The United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) has removed a social media post that defended the right of Antifa to “freedom of expression” and “peaceful assembly” after considerable backlash following a report from Breitbart News.

The now-deleted post, which also displayed the far-left movement’s flag, said: “UN Human Rights experts express profound concern over a recent statement by the US Attorney-General describing Antifa and other anti-fascist activists as domestic terrorists, saying it undermines the rights to freedom of expression and of peaceful assembly in the country.”

I guess there’s at least a little consolation in the fact that *someone* in the UN has some active brain cells left...

They might see a train coming and don’t want their wheels on that track.

This entire thing has been a huge fiasco on the left....a huge over reach from the draconian lockdowns to BLM/KLANTIFA riots...you name it...

Its like falling over the center 30 seconds before the snap.

Its self evident....their only hope now is to cheat or take over by force.

Neither will work.

I sent it to as many people I could on twitter and we all sent them to the President.

I’m sure nobody read a single one of them :)

But I figured maybe he has folks sifting through the tweets to see what’s going on out there.

I’m probably wrong :)

I’m sure plenty of cheating went on in the last general election.

Neither that, nor any of the propaganda obligingly supplied by their fellow travelers in the ‘journalism’ field, helped them win.

Their credibility is now even more tarnished; and our numbers and conviction have grown.

That right there says all one needs to know about the UN.....doing what they can to absolve the thugs who unleashed terror in the downtowns of many US cities. In fact, they are trying to rebrand them as those who just want peaceful assembly. Right.....

As great as it would be to be out of the UN, realistically, it won’t happen because we would lose all sway within it. We defund, leave, and kick them out of the UN building, then we lose any control we have no matter how little it may be.

Ideally, we shouldn’t be involved with them at all. Then again, how often does the ideal become actuality?

The only good thing about the UN, it’s an excellent example of mid 20th century architecture. Otherwise it’s nothing but a VIP lounge for dictators and terrorists. Throw the bums out and convert the Secretariat Bldg into housing for homeless vets. Then sell the Gen Assy Bldg to Trump’s kids for$1 and let them negotiate with the Mohawks to convert it into a casino.

If we left, Chi Na would take it over, lock, stock and barrel. But Chi Na is not very popular after their virus.

Is Syria still a major player on the UN Human Rights Commission? Even Amnesty International has the intellectual honesty to place them at the top of their sh*t list of the worst human rights abusers.
