She’s probably already compromised, or her staff are being handled by state department/cia, but maybe if enough people call she’ll at least be a bit more embarrassed. Worth a shot, because she’s not going away and her doing this shit is damaging.

Oh I 100% agree. She interned for USAID during a coup in Niger for fucks sake. She is very very suspect edit: when it comes to foreign policy and being pliable by the narrative that is told to her by ngos with bad motives . But she’s a net positive at this point if she shuts up about foreign policy, and she’s not going away any time soon. So the least we can do is put some form of pressure on her to shut the fuck up
We all know the CIA is famous for sending teenagers to do coups in places where they don't even speak the language, right folks?
Where did I say she did a coup? She interned for a CIA front. They didn’t give her a fucking gun. But maybe just maybe she believed they were doing the right thing or thinks USAId is on the up and up? That’s the problem. That’s what makes her susceptible to their influence. Not because she was tasked with helping the opposition take over state media lmao
And the Niger coup was one that didn’t have clearly defined good guys and bad guys, and if your notion of foreign politics and our place as an “ombudsman” is formed during such an event, maybe when a Bolivia happens and Bolivian opposition expats want a photo op, you take it... and then Venezuela, then Tibet, then Xinjiang, then Cuba, etc
You know what an insinuation is. "She interned for USAID during a coup in Niger for fucks sake. She is very very suspect." = insinuating she was involved in the coup.
Not every employee in an organization like USAID is a CIA agent. The whole point of doing intelligence work through a cutout is that (1) you gain deniability by doing plenty of mundane stuff, too; and (2) people like college kids will think you're doing good work and not CIA stuff. It's beyond ridiculous to CIA-jacket every teenager who interned there. We can't entertain nonsense like this if we hope to get anything done.
Sure there are college students who interned there who do NOT use their platform to be a useful idiot for imperial propaganda
In other words, she’s suspect because of her actions and words given her background, not insinuation
Do you see the problem with baselessly accusing people of being involved with the CIA? Do you see how jacketing can be used against the left?
Is the CIA directing her to call out American imperialism in Venezuela, too? We have to be smarter about this.
Hold up, what?
