This guy just walked into the capitol of the United States and criticized the American people for exercising their first amendment right. The audacity.

Why are we allowing this man to address Congress? And why did anyone show up?
Republicans
And Democrats
Not as many
And isn’t there an arrest warrant for him? Oh right:
The US doesn’t respect the ICC’s authority anyway.
If we did we’d have to start handing over politicians lol
Which is not a bad thing at all. Do the crime do the time. Am I right?
You’re absolutely right. However, when it comes to American foreign politics, glaring hypocrisy is not a bug, it’s a feature.
Only when you’re poor and especially when you’re black
What’s the downside?
Just that they have to decide to hand themselves over and that seems unlikely.
Right. Not just that, USA is allowed to invade the Netherlands, where The Hague is located, to protect American officials and military personnel from prosecution or rescue them from custody.

over a hundred Democrat congresspeople boycotted the speech. The republicans had their staff sit in to make the crowd look full
Yup, shoulda sat in, then up and left when he started his speech.
They had so many absentees they needed Elon Musk to fill up the benches. Which is when you know it is bad.
Because his crimes against humanity feed the military industrial complex, to which both major parties are subservient.
Ding ding ding
