The State Department has announced that South Africa’s ambassador to the United States must depart the country by Friday.

This decision came after Secretary of State Marco Rubio concluded that Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool was no longer welcome in the U.S.

He shared this determination on social media, prompting the South African embassy staff to be called to the State Department, where they received an official diplomatic note regarding the situation.

Rasool spoke the truth and spineless Rubio has to scramble to expel anyone he can from the US. This time it’s a diplomat, but just the other day it was a legal resident. Tomorrow it’s natural born citizens.
