Now that CBI has charged the 4 Hathras accused for gang rape and murder, let us look at how the ‘honor killing, no rape’ narrative was echoed by the entire BJP ecosystem. Thread 1/n👇

Republic: “now that it appears there was no rape, leave alone gang rape...some people are suggesting it could be case of honor killing. Needs to be investigated.” 2/n
BJP Mahila Morcha’s national social media in charge. Wherever there is misleading narrative being built, you are sure to find her there. 3/n.
BJP loyalists started getting ‘hints’. One with ‘facts’ in the handle name even declared “Hathras- No Rape” 4/n
BJP supporters dutifully circulated a random video as ‘new facts coming out’. 5/n
BJP social media warriors took the lead. “Is media still running the rape angle? More work required by us”. What is more work? See the next tweet. 6/n
BJP copy paste trolls 7/n
“Journalist” 8/n
The honor killing angle was further sensationalized by a misleading headline stating that the woman was murdered by her mother and brother (fine print added that it is the accused who is saying this) 9/n
All this shameless effort to whitewash was made even after the victim in her dying statement had reportedly stated that she was gangraped and had named four youths of the village. 10/10

Russia hasn't been a willing partner in this treaty for almost 3 decades. We should have ended the pretense long ago.

Naturally, Rand Paul is telling anyone who will listen to him that Trump is making a HUGE MISTAKE here.


Rand is just like his dad, Ron. 100% isolationist.

They've never grasped that 100% isolationist is not 'America First' when you examine it. It really means 'America Alone'.

The consistent grousing of pursuing military alliances with allies - like Trump is doing now with Saudi Arabia.

So of course Rand has also spent the last 2 days loudly calling for Trump to kill the arms deal with Saudi Arabia and end our alliance with them.

What Obama was engineering with his foreign policy was de facto isolationism: pull all the troops out of the ME, abandon the region to Iranian control as a client state of Russia.

Obama wasn't building an alliance with Iran; he was facilitating abandoning the ME to Iran.

Obama wouldn't even leave behind a token security force, so of course what happened was the rise of ISIS. He also pumped billions of dollars into the Iranian coffers, which the Mullah's used to fund destabilizing activity [wars/terrorism] & criminal enterprises all over the globe
