GOP thought leader Erick Erickson wants the US to support the next wave of Pinochet dictators.

Inadvertently, he highlights the moral duty to aid refugees fleeing violence the US ignited.

Pinochet was one of many CIA backed fascists, who tortured or murdered 30,000 Chileans.
The CIA backed a Pinochet lead Chilean coup in 1973. He tortured 30,000 Chileans, and murdered over 2,000. He threw people out of helicopters. He killed a former diplomat and 2 bystanders in a car bomb in DC.
A direct line to violence refugees flee today.

It’s important to note that Erickson is a #NeverTrump Republican. He frequents Meet the Press.

He also advocates supporting murderous fascist dictators as long as they impose free market reforms.

We need to be careful who we get into bed with.
