Rubio Labels South African Ambassador To U.S. As A 'Race-Baiter': 'No Longer Welcome In Our Great Country'
72nd Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed on Friday
that South Africa’s ambassador to the United States “is no longer
welcome” in the country.
“South Africa’s Ambassador to the United States is no longer welcome
in our great country. Ebrahim Rasool
is a race-baiting politician who
hates America and hates @POTUS,” Rubio wrote.
“We have nothing to discuss with him and so he is considered PERSONA NON GRATA,” he continued.
Ebrahim Rasool, whose X account describes himself as the “Ex South
African Ambassador to USA, Comrade of Nelson Mandela, Founder of World
for All Foundation + Georgetown Senior Fellow,” argued, while speaking
in academic language, that the “MAGA” movement was fueling the “growing
demographic diversity” within the United States — through its crackdown
on illegal immigration, DEI, and equity programs.
“What Donald Trump is launching is an assault on incumbency, those
who are in power, by mobilizing a supremacism against the incumbency, at
home, and — I think I’ve illustrated — abroad as well. So in terms of
that, the supremacist assault on incumbency, we see it in the domestic
politics of the USA, the MAGA movement, the Make America Great Again
movement, as a response not simply to a supremacist instinct, but to
very clear data that shows great demographic shifts in the USA in which
the voting electorate in the USA is projected to become 48% White,”
Rasool stated.
Watch
South Africa’s Ambassador Embrahim Rasool claim that President Donald
Trump (and, later, Elon Musk) are leading a global white supremacist
movement. Partial video and transcript below (more at the link):
The announcement also follows after President Donald Trump signed an
executive order cutting aid to the Black-led South African government.
Trump cited the targeting of South Africa’s Afrikaners, who are
descendants of Dutch colonial settlers, through a new law which allows
the government to expropriate private land.
The Expropriation Act was signed into law earlier this year. It
allows the government to seize land that is not currently being used,
using the excuse that it would be in the best “public interest” for it
to be redistributed.
Trump-ally Elon Musk, an immigrant from South African, criticized the law as a threat to South Africa’s White minority.
Nevertheless, the South African government has denied that the law is
“race-based,” claiming that President Trump’s criticisms are
misleading.
