ANOTHER democratic socialist likely headed to Congress — says 9/11 was ‘inevitable’

2 days 15 hours ago


In what seems like a never-ending trend of communists winning their primaries this election cycle, Colorado democratic socialist Melat Kiros is likely headed to Congress.

And Kiros’ recent comments about the tragic events of September 11 have Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck alarmed.

Kiros was asked in an interview with Colorado’s Next 9News about comments she had made regarding the Hamas terror attack on October 7 while appearing on Twitch streamer Hasan Piker’s show.

Kiros doubled down that it was “an inevitable consequence of apartheid, of occupation, decades of occupation.”


The reporter followed up that answer with a question about the most deadly attack on American soil.

“Do you believe that the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America were the inevitable consequence of American foreign policy?” the reporter asked.

“Inevitable in the sense that we destabilized a lot of the Middle East. That forced people to believe that another act of violence was the only response. And again, just like I said before, our responsibility is to getting rid of those conditions that lead to violence,” Kiros replied.

“It’s the typical, you know, blame the rape victim that you get attacked from whatever we did,” Jason Buttrill tells Glenn.

“I don’t agree with blaming the victim or anything when it comes to anything like this,” he adds.

“Name the country that hasn’t made these kinds of mistakes,” Glenn agrees.

“We do nothing to deserve that kind of stuff ... the American people are those people that we think of as red, white, and blue and just want to do the right thing and help each other and help other countries,” he says.

“That’s what’s really in our heart. But that’s not what our government’s been doing,” he adds.

Tim Walz pardons illegal alien despite HORRIFIC child sex crimes — which may shield him from deportation

2 days 15 hours ago


The Department of Homeland Security is criticizing Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota after signing off on a pardon of an illegal alien who committed horrific sex crimes against a child.

Laotian immigrant Tou Lue Vang pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl numerous times, but "Governor Walz’s pardon" prevents Vang from being deported, according to the DHS.

The DHS said Vang was scheduled to be deported a week after Walz pardoned him, preventing his removal.

Vang was convicted in 2005 of one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and was pardoned more than two decades later under the Walz administration. The Minnesota Board of Pardons is composed of the governor, attorney general, and chief justice, according to KSTP.

"I made a mistake, but this is a minor thing," the pedophile reportedly told police. He also told them that "it's a cultural thing to marry and have sex with girls as young as 12," according to the DHS.

He allegedly offered the victim $10 to stay quiet about the horrific assaults.

Vang was sentenced to 144 months in prison, but he reportedly avoided serving any time by pleading guilty to first-degree criminal sexual conduct. He agreed to 30 years of probation, which he was allowed to complete in 2019. He was pardoned seven years later.

The DHS said Vang was scheduled to be deported a week after Walz pardoned him, which prevented his removal.

"Governor Tim Walz's decision to pardon an illegal alien convicted child rapist so he can remain in our country is disgusting,” said acting DHS Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.

"These are the criminal illegal aliens he and his Minnesota sanctuary politicians are protecting. Tou Lue Vang lost his legal status following his conviction for repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl. Following the conviction, he was placed in removal proceedings and issued a final order of removal by a judge. This pardon will take away this child rapist’s qualifying convictions that made him removable from the United States."

Far-left radical Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a statement, according to KSTP: "The Minnesota Board of Pardons made a unanimous decision to grant Tou Vang this pardon after an exhaustive process, which included a statement of support for the pardon from the victim, a recommendation to grant the pardon from the Clemency Review Commission, and a large number of community support letters."

The AG's statement added: "DHS is lying through their teeth about this pardon. It does not protect Vang from deportation."

A Blaze News request for comment to Walz' office was not answered, but his office released a statement to WCCO-TV justifying the pardon based on a statement from the victim.

"What happened to me was wrong, but I have had many years to think about this. I have made my peace with it. I forgive him," the victim wrote. "I want his family to stay together here. His children need their father. He and his wife have built a life. I believe that he has learned and grown since the abuse and that the family has suffered enough."

However, the New York Times, citing an official from the Ramsey County attorney’s office, reported that the lenient plea deal was offered because the victim had been pressured by her family not to cooperate with prosecutors.
