If one cares about free speech and a free press in America, do not vote for 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bennet.
According to an article published on World Socialist Web Site, Sen. Bennet signed a letter addressed to Vice President Mike Pence in June 2018 demanding the Trump Administration convince the Ecuadorian government to expel Julian Assange’s asylum.
According to the article, the letter exposes a clear hatred of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks among America’s political elite.
In addition to Sen. Michael Bennett, nine other Democratic senators signed the letter, including:
Robert Menendez
Richard Blumenthal
Joe Manchin III
Dianne Feinstein
Richard J. Durbin
Edward J. Markey
Christopher A. Coons
Jeanne Shaheen
Mark R. Warner
The letter signed by the above senators, including Sen. Bennet, cites Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s statements on WikiLeaks when he was the acting CIA director. Pompeo referred to WikiLeaks as “a non-state hostile intelligence service.” This is the same man who admitted that the CIA is taught to lie, cheat and steal.
Furthermore, the letter portrays a clear intent on behalf of the United States government to restore amicable relations with Ecuador. What is disturbing is their method to restore relations—torture and prosecute journalist and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
Perhaps these senators thought it would work well to play politics with foreign governments by finding a journalist and publisher to mutually hate.
But Why These 10 Specific Senators?
The majority of the senators who signed this letter were in some manner implicated by WikiLeaks publications.
