On Monday, Hot Air<\/a> posted an article about the recent dust-up with Columbia about the return of Colombian citizens who were here illegally. After the planes carrying the illegals were in the air, the Colombian President Gustavo Petro<\/span> announced that he would not let the planes land in Columbia. That really was not a very smart move.<\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

As Ed wrote, it took 37 minutes for Columbia’s President Gustavo Petro to reverse himself<\/a> on accepting Colombian deportees AND to offer his presidential plane to carry out the deportations.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

37 minutes, or three holes of golf for the president. Between the end of his third hole, when President Trump tweeted out his threats to President Petro and the sixth hole, the diplomatic dispute was resolved in our favor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The Pravda media and many in the transnational elite were horrified by what happened.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Donald Trump is so mean.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He bullied the poor, poor president of Columbia. Yankee imperialism in its worst form! Trump is a big mean bully who doesn’t respect our neighbors like Petro.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So let’s look at some of Petro’s history. The article notes:<\/p>\n

At age 17, while studying economics at Externado University of Colombia in Bogot\u00e1, Petro was recruited by the 19th of April Movement (M-19), a Marxist guerrilla group that took its name from the date on which the group argued that the 1970 Colombian presidential election had been \u201cstolen.\u201d The group often resorted to audacious militant actions, including the kidnapping and murder of a labour leader in 1976, a raid on a Bogot\u00e1 arsenal in 1979, and the kidnapping of cocktail-party guests at the Bogot\u00e1 embassy of the Dominican Republic in 1980. …In October 1985, while disguised as a woman, Petro was arrested and incarcerated after he was found to be in possession of firearms, homemade explosives, and propaganda. Some three weeks later, while Petro was still behind bars, the M-19 undertook its most notorious<\/a> operation: an invasion of the Palace of Justice<\/a> in Bogot\u00e1, where it took scores of hostages. In the subsequent military assault on the building, some 100 people were killed, including half of Colombia\u2019s Supreme Court judges<\/span>. In March 1987 Petro was released from confinement, and he helped promote peace talks between the M-19 and the Colombian government. In 1990 he demobilized along with the rest of the M-19 after negotiations with Colombian Pres. Virgilio Barco<\/a> led to amnesty for members of the group, which then transformed into a legitimate<\/a> political party<\/a>, Alianza Democr\u00e1tica M-19.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the people sent here from Columbia illegally were so bad that Colombian President Gustavo Petro<\/span> didn’t want them in his country, we certainly don’t want them in our country.<\/p>\n
