Here we go again. The radical Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is foaming at the mouth because the Trump administration finally kicked South African Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool to the curb. Why? Because he had the audacity to accuse President Donald Trump of “promoting white supremacy” while his own government pushes laws to steal land from farmers and aligns itself with terrorist sympathizers.
On Friday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio officially declared Rasool persona non grata, meaning he’s out of Washington. The move comes after Rasool trashed Trump’s administration for defending South African farmers—hardworking people who are watching their government expropriate their land in a blatant violation of property rights. Trump didn’t stand for it and even announced a fast-track pathway for South African farmers to flee persecution and come to America. That didn’t sit well with Rasool, who, instead of fixing his own country’s problems, chose to throw cheap shots at Trump.
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.https://t.co/mnUnwGOQdx

And now, as expected, CAIR is losing its mind. The same organization that was named an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror-funding trial is back at it, calling Trump’s decision “racist” and “Islamophobic.” The real irony? CAIR’s own National Executive Director, Nihad Awad, has been caught on record supporting Hamas after its brutal terror attacks on Israel last October. But we’re supposed to take them seriously when they whine about “Islamophobia”?
Let’s be honest: Rasool is not a victim. His South African government is in bed with China, Iran, and anti-Israel radicals, and instead of standing for democracy and free speech, he’s pushing a globalist, leftist, anti-American agenda. The Trump administration is done playing games—and Rubio just sent a message: If you bash America, spread anti-Trump lies, and support terrorist sympathizers, you’re getting the boot.
Meanwhile, the media and the Biden-era bureaucrats are scrambling to defend him, as if removing an anti-American ambassador from U.S. soil is somehow controversial. But this is classic Trump—putting America first, cutting out the dead weight, and refusing to let foreign radicals dictate policy.
