What does this have to do with the problems in Hong Kong ? Is it just a mud-slinging sortie ?
As I said- Republicans should either back him or speak out themselves.

For once you are talking sense, sadly it's all too rare.

A protester putting up a banner fell to his death yesterday. Today, an estimated one and a half million people are on the streets wearing black.

China agreed a fifty-year period of semi-autonomy for Hong Kong in 1997 and - it is now evidenced- will not be able to weaken that agreement in increments. Hong Kong's Basic Law protects it.

China has mellowed during the last twenty years and may be very different after the next thirty. We can ASSIST that process, sensibly. Having over a thousand overseas military bases, threatening war, abusing the dollar standard and supporting Izraeli criminality at the UN will NOT assist that process.
