US Expels South African Ambassador

Sunday, March 16, 2025

Describing him as a "race-baiting politician," USSECSTATE Marco Rubio is expelling South Africa's ambassador to Washington, In a post on X, Rubio accused Ebrahim Rasool of hating the US and President Donald Trumpf, and said the ambassador was "no longer welcome in our great country." The rare move by the US marks the latest development in rising tensions between the two countries. Pretoria may reciprocate. The manifestly underqualified Marco Rubio is America's top diplomat.

Ebrahim Rasool (L) was sent to Washington again after gaining years of experience during his first stint.

Under-qualified Marco Rubio is a tool who sits at the acme of power in the USG with a 24/7 DSS bodyguard detail, access to USAF planes, an army of aides, access to intelligence, enjoying four-star accommodations wherever he travels. He'll have a robust USG pension (US Senate and SECSTATE combined) when he eventually retires, all at the expense of the hardworking American taxpayer. What a country we have.

"Under-qualified Marco Rubio is a tool."

All the rest is a career update.

"As long as South Africa continues to support bad actors on the world stage and allows violent attacks on innocent disfavoured minority farmers, the United States will stop aid and assistance to the country," a statement from the White House said at the time

Good, that's what needed to happen.

#3 Buying Sissy SpaceX lies again I see. Those "disfavored" farmers denied what Elong said. They said they were happy in South Africa and had no desire to become Americans. Obviously more Reichwing propaganda that you and the other MAGAts love to lap up. Tell me, if Dotard and Sissy were pissing on your head while telling you it was raining, would you have to taste it before you realized you were being lied to? Nah, you'd tip your head back and drink deeply.
