UN GATE
/ SDNY,
Jan 21 – At the confirmation
hearing for the next US
Ambassador to the UN Elise
Stefanik, questions ranged
from the UN's dominance by -
and bribe taking from - China
to complicity in the October 7
attacks. But barely scratched
was the full depth of the
current UN's rot, from
corruption to
censorship. Inner City
Press live tweeted, from the thread
Chair Risch
starts with "decay" of UN.
Ranking member
Shaheen calls UN imperfect but
argues for continued
engagement or else China will
just take it (more) over.
Dave McCormickPA
asks about antisemitism at the
UN. Tim Kaine asks about
Haiti (though doesn't mention
that the UN brought cholera
there)
Senator Hagerty
asks about UNRWA role in
terrorism
Sen John Curtis
asks about Taiwan being
subsumed into the PRC in UN
agencies like ICAO
RickScott
asks about UNRWA - a trend in
this hearing. Sen Jacky Rosen
shifts to UNESCO
John Cornyn asks
about UN & Iran
ChrisVanHollen
says Hamas should have no role
@SteveDaines what
she will do about Guterres
who, he says, lowered flags
for the death of Iran's
president.
@SenJohnBarrasso
asks Stefanik about holding
the UN accountable, including
to local laws / congestion
pricing:
@SenMikeLee asks
about the wisdom of US
granting UN "inviolability" as
to ICC. Now @SenBrianSchatz
asks about island nations and
China.
@SenTedCruz asks
about the "deep rot" in the UN
and its worsening role after
October 7.
@SenDuckworth
asks about Myanmar / Burma.
UNSG Guterres has failed there

And with that,
it's over
