Ambassador Nikki Haley just made it nearly official. The United States plans to withdraw from the UN Human Rights Council because it’s “a protector of human right abusers and [a] cesspool of political bias.”
Haley basically said she warned the UN that we weren’t going to put up with it much longer, but it refused to heed our warnings.
Sorry! This isn’t the squishy Obama administration anymore. Trump and Haley are in the house, and they aren’t playin’.

She even called the HRC a “self-serving organization that makes a mockery of human rights,” which is SO TRUE. Need I remind you of some of the members again? Afghanistan. Cuba. Pakistan. Saudi Arabia. Venezuela. I could go on…

About darn time someone says it.
