@kcarruthers Statement by President Gustavo Petro (thread, 2/?)
"They were murdered by the fascists within the U.S., just as they exist in my own country, executed in the electric chair for being labor leaders. I don’t like your oil, Trump. It’s going to destroy humanity out of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey—which I’ll accept despite my gastritis—we can speak frankly about this. But it’s difficult because you consider me an inferior race, and I am not, nor is any Colombian. "
