Reblogging for anyone who doesn’t know about this yet. This should be front page news. This should warrant resignations of diplomatic corps and executive office officials. We should be in the streets to support Haitians.
just remember who was the boss of all these diplomats when Hillary Clinton runs for president on the “success” of her tenure as secretary of state
