"Ebrahim Rasool is a race-baiting politician who hates America," the U.S. secretary of state said.
Ebrahim Rasool, the South African ambassador to the United States, is persona non grata in Washington, and “we have nothing to discuss with him,” U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Friday.
The South African envoy said at a seminar earlier in the day that U.S. President Donald Trump is leading a white supremacist movement, Breitbart reported. “What Donald Trump is launching is an assault on incumbency, those who are in power, by mobilizing a supremacism against the incumbency, at home,” Rasool told attendees at the event.
“South Africa’s Ambassador to the United States is no longer welcome in our great country,” Rubio stated. “Ebrahim Rasool is a race-baiting politician who hates America and hates President Trump.”
