Turkish Body Guards for Erdogan attacked American protestors in Washington DC and they have the audacity to tell us our security was unprofessional for defending our people? Frick Turkey.

Fox News: LINK

quote:

The U.S. ambassador in Ankara was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Turkey said, over what it called "aggressive and unprofessional actions" by U.S. security personnel against Turkish bodyguards in Washington during President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's visit last week.


quote:

Two Turkish bodyguards were briefly detained after the incident. They were later set free and returned to Turkey. 


quote:

The Turkish ambassador should be "thrown the hell out of Washington," Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) told "Fox News Sunday."


quote:

"We did call the ambassador of Turkey into the State Department to discuss what occurred with them and express our view that this is simply unacceptable," Tillerson revealed.


Yeah, maybe don't come to America and attack our citizens who choose to excercise their constitutional rights. Sorry our country isn't a sham democracy with a dictator president. This is America, not Turkey.

Between this, the recent referendum, and their insisting on referring to the Kurds as terrorists, I vote sanctions.

Nothing. If you look at the video none of them were in any proximity to Erdogan. He's sitting in his car while they're across the damn street.

It was probably something related to the genocide of Armenians decades ago.

If the protesters didn't physically initiate the contact then there was nothing they did to warrant that crap. The Turks need to understand how our laws protect free speech in this country. Antifa and libs need to remember it to because it reminds me of how they treat conservatives.

FIFY, since it applies to ANTIFA in Cali, Wash. St., Chicago, NYC, D.C., etc..

Except ICE reserves the right to summon illegals to be deported. Besides, Turkey is strategically important to our military unlike Mexico.

Maybe just me,

But it looks like they basically checked with Erdogan if he wanted them to go frick them up, got the approval to atk and ran across the street to assault them.

Watching the video, we are lucky a bodyguard didn't pull a gun when the DC cops were restraining them.

Such a shameful display by the Turks.

I mean, we joke about that and all. But the court system in America has done a good job of halting his abuses of power so far. He isn't a dictator.
