This US Amb to Denmark is a former actress, chiro, "board member of major California institutions”; campaign, inauguration contributor; was rec'd by Calif. Trump supporter Eliott Broidy /2 vanityfair.com/news/2019/07/t…
This is more than a thin-skinned reaction (apparently the Ambo is snowflake who needs safe place), it is silencing an American (in this case, an expert on NATO) and restricting who a foreign group may hear from. /3
The US Amb to Denmark furthers the autocratic messaging by the president and his acolytes: contrarian speech is not tolerated, which POTUS constantly reiterates with his vile, personal attacks. This is today's US Public Diplomacy.
Follow up: The Danish Atlantic Council canceled this event, cosponsored with the State Department, rather than proceed after the US Ambo imposed blocked a known expert, @srs2_, because he's critical of Trump. See the statement here:
