South African Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool is being booted out of the United States after he called President Donald Trump a “white supremacist leader” in a lecture he gave Friday morning.
This comes after Breitbart published a report earlier Friday about a lecture Rasool gave Friday morning. The report reads:
South African Ambassador Embrahim Rasool told participants in a foreign policy seminar Friday that U.S. President Donald Trump is leading a white supremacist movement in America and around the world.
Rasool was addressing the Mapungubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection (MISTRA) in Johannesburg in attempting to explain Trump’s recent foreign policy stances against South Africa’s property expropriation legislation and its alliances with Iran and Hamas, among others.
He said that white supremacism was motivating Trump’s “disrespect” for the “current hegemonic order” of the world, including institutions like the United Nations and the G-20.
He also said that the Make America Great Again movement was a white supremacist response to growing demographic diversity in the United States, and suggested that South African farmers who had presented Afrikaner grievances within the U.S. were part of that global effort.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio didn’t even need to sleep on it. Rasool gave the lecture Friday morning, and hours later on Friday afternoon, Rubio announced that Rasool is no longer welcome here.
“South Africa’s Ambassador to the United States is no longer welcome in our great country. 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,” Rubio declared.
