    Guatemala had a Truth and Reconciliation Commission which concluded that government figures like Ríos Montt were guilty of genocide. As far as I know, no American who helped train, arm, and defend this genocide has ever been held accountable.

        You just don’t understand how messy promoting human rights can be.

        Trying to smear Jewish politicians as monsters who have blood dripping from their teeth (classic anti-Semitic trope) is the natural next step after Ilhan Omar's bigoted anti-AIPAC comment.

        Instead, a chorus of outrage has been quickly manufactured to castigate a Member of Congress for impugning the integrity of a man who plead guilty to #LyingToCongress. What moral authority could an #ACTUALFREAKINGREFUGEE think she has? 1/

        2/ Those loony lefties on the House Foreign Affairs Committee actually seem to think they have the right to oversee our Foreign Affairs. Who hired them to do that?

        and for all our sanctimony, I don't think America has ever had a Truth and Reconciliation Commission about anything.

        The whole "human rights champion" thing seems like it's meant to be ironic until you realize who they consider human and who they don't.
