I could care less what gender,ethnicity,faith or country you come from..
..if you flee a country and have made it as far as this young woman has in America..do you think it asking too much if she showed at least mild gratitude for where she sits today?
Her arrogant display toward the Jewish envoy to Venezuela,Eliot Abrams,was really poor theatre.
She knew the optics.She had a Jew in the hot seat and just coming off her “Tiqiyyaesque apology” for insensitivity toward the Jewish community. She asked no relevant questions to a guy who is a career diplomat and her halting attitude was far beyond most newly minted rookies in Congress. Even old congressional salts rarely stray into this style of questioning and certainly not with a diplomat. You don’t have to like Abrams and you may think his stains from nearly three decades past cannot ever be washed away. I don’t particularly care for the younger iteration of Abrams,either.He came off smug and essentially amoral. Soros-like.
*At least as he was portrayed in the classic doc “Hotel Terminus”.The tale of Vichy resistance,betrayal,and the Butcher of Lyon,Klaus Barbie.
All things considered..diplomats with his experience and expertise are difficult to find.He is respected and reknowned for doing back channel work and is not concerned with acclaim.It should be noted that Trump doesn’t care that Abrams hates him. He wanted the right guy and this is who members on both sides pointed him to. Say what you like,Eliot is a dedicated person in a mostly thankless field when regarding the historical import of the work diplomats actually do.
He has extensive experience in Central and South America dating to the days of Simon Wiesenthal and the Boys from Brazil era of hunting Nazi war criminals.He deserves a modicum of respect.He’s earned it.
