| UnfairRepresent 11/05/19 8:31:37 AM #1: | The kidnapping and killing of U.S. citizens in Mexico should be a wake-up call to the United States government, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said Tuesday. At least six children and three women living in a Mormon community of U.S. citizens in Mexico were shot to death Monday and several others were reportedly kidnapped after their convoy came under fire during a brazen daylight ambush believed to have been carried out by gunmen affiliated with organized crime in the country. Those attacked were members of the LeBaron family, a well known American clan who have lived in the fundamentalist community in the northern part of the country for decades, according to the New York Times. Kenny LeBaron, a cousin to several of the victims, told the Times he feared the death toll could increase. When you know there are babies tied in a car seat that are burning because of some twisted evil thats in this world, LeBaron said, its just hard to cope with that. Appearing on "Fox & Friends" with hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade, Gingrich said that he thinks the U.S. has been "hiding from reality" when it comes to the power of Mexican drug cartels and their chokehold on the Mexican government. "The cartels have grown richer, stronger, bigger. They are a direct threat to the Mexican government. Much more than the attention we've paid to Syria or Iraq or Afghanistan," he said. More than a dozen other members of La Mora a decades-old settlement in Sonora state founded as part of an offshoot of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were missing after the attack on the convoy of three SUVs Early reports indicated the tragedy could have been a case of mistaken identity. But recent history also raises the possibility the LeBaron family was the intended target: only a decade ago two members of the family opposed to local drug trafficking groups were kidnapped and murdered, according to the Times. "Mexico is a vital American interest. And, our desire to make sure the Mexican government defeats the cartels, should be enormous," Gingrich told the hosts "And," he said, "I hope this will be a wake-up call -- that we had better find a way to have a partnership with the Mexican government and help them with whatever intelligence training equipment they need to decisively defeat the cartels who are now, frankly, a state within a state." The U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Christopher Landrau, tweeted in Spanish that he was following the incident closely and that "the security of our co-nationals is our great priority." Gingrich said he believes that the Mexican government 'like Lebanon' is unable to control its own territory and because it's our "next-door neighbor" we have a "huge interest." "And, much bigger than we do in Syria or a lot of the places we pay attention to. Mexico's a much more important part of our future than those countries are," he explained.

The state of Mexican is awful and HUGELY relevant to US interests and secretly. Much more so than the Middle East. Especially with the casual murdering of US citizens. Mexico releasing high ranking cartel members because the cartel massacre people until they do is awful, giving in to terrorism and showcases how weak the Mexican government is. The Cartel is evil and should be opposed by any sane civilized person Earth including the Chinese. Legalizing drugs and working/training with the Mexican government/intelligence is absolutely an intelligent move. I feel weird guys... --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
