Ukraine Targets Schumer’s Opponent Sare, with Funds from Schumer
[Print version of this article]
Former UN weapons inspector in Iraq, Scott Ritter, hit New York Senator Chuck Schumer’s funding support for Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) extremely hard in a commentary published by Consortium News Aug. 3. Ritter featured the fact that LaRouche candidate Diane Sare, Schumer’s opponent in this November’s election in New York, is among those defamed as “information terrorists” and “war criminals” on the Kiev regime’s blacklist issued July 14.
Ritter—famed for finding and stating, despite the Bush ‘43’ Administration, that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction—is also named on the Ukrainian hit list. So is Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, the Senate opponent of Schumer’s shoveling of $40 billion to Ukraine for weapons and for agencies including its CCD.
Wrote Ritter:
Diane Sare was singled out by the Schumer-funded, State Department-supported [Ukrainian] Center for Countering Disinformation as an “information terrorist” who should be prosecuted as a “war criminal” because of her public stance challenging the narrative about the Ukraine conflict.
That’s right—Chuck Schumer helped create the organizational structures which have attacked the reputation of a challenger for his Senate seat, threatening her with political violence and more, for the “crime” of challenging Schumer on the issue of Ukraine ...
[What] Chuck Schumer has done in using U.S. taxpayer money to attack his political opponents is un-American. One can only hope that the New York voters see it the same way come November.
It also appears to be illegal. As such, I hope that both Rand Paul and Diane Sare pursue whatever legal recourse is available to them to expose and shut down a Schumer-supported law that allows U.S. taxpayer money to underwrite a campaign targeting U.S. citizens, including serving Senators and political challengers, with intimidation and more for the “crime” of exercising their First Amendment right of free speech.
