It takes either a high degree of stupidity or chutzpah for the Darth #Trump administration to accuse the EU of suppressing freedom of expression, while at the same time the former ambassador to Germany, #Grenell, wants to expel Elmar #Teveßen from the US because he doesn't like his journalistic reporting.
And how stupid are people in the US who don't notice and take offense at this double standard?

We should clearly oppose these #US #autocrats and #fascists in the Darth #Trump administration.
It cannot be that our EU politicians always cowardly and opportunistically duck out of the way because they are apparently unable to deal with conflict or are too fearful.
We did not elect them to put our democratic values up for grabs, but to defend them clearly and unambiguously, against whomever.
