Ro Smollett Khanna is hysterically telling a story of Israeli settlers and the IDF detaining them and behaving rudely while he was in Israel. He has been regurgitating the allegedly disturbing experience to any TV audience who will listen.
Ro Smollett’s version doesn’t wash, especially after hearing Dr. Leiter explain below. Ro lies a lot. If I have to believe someone, it won’t be Ro.
Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Dr. Michael Leiter told Margaret Brennan, “There was not an alert. There was a question about visas; that is all.” He adds, “When we requested he coordinate the trip with us, he rejected that by basically staying silent. So, that’s unfortunate. This whole incident is unfortunate.”
The US ambassador at the Embassy in Israel says Ro Smollet lied. Totally calls out @RoKhanna for being subversive.
Remember, Israel and the US are actively engaged in a war. Khanna is a representative for the United States of America, not Iran.
Let’s remind him. https://t.co/UzScppS09z
