Rubio Expels South African Ambassador, Calls Him 'Race-Baiting' Trump Hater

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio expelled South African Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool with 72 hours to leave America after accusing him of being a "race-baiting" politician who hates President Donald Trump.

"South Africa's Ambassador to the United States is no longer welcome in our great country," Rubio stated on X Friday.

"Ebrahim Rasool is a race-baiting politician who hates America and hates @POTUS. We have nothing to discuss with him and so he is considered PERSONA NON GRATA," he added.

Rubio linked to a Breitbart article that transcribed part of Rasool's recent address at a foreign policy seminar.

Rasool attempted to shed light on Trump's executive order freezing aid to South Africa because of its land law, which Trump declared was "anti-white," and the nation's "aggressive positions" toward the U.S. and its allies after "accusing" Israel of genocide in the International Court of Justice.

Rasool claimed Trump is leading a white supremacist movement across the globe as "a response not simply to a supremacist instinct, but to very clear data that shows great demographic shifts in the USA in which the voting electorate in the USA is projected to become 48% white" He added "the possibility of a majority of minorities is looming on the horizon."

The South African ambassador also took aim at Elon Musk, condemning him for elevating "Nigel Farage and the Reform movement" in the UK similar to what he did with the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
