Marco Rubio goes after Hillary Clinton’s biggest mistake: Slavery

Fifteen years ago, Hillary Clinton made a huge mistake and Secretary of State Marco Rubio is finally trying to fix the error.

Hillary resurrected the African slave trade that has left over a million men, women, and children clapped in chains.

Now, Marco Rubio is trying to set them free.

As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton pushed a military intervention that toppled the Libyan dictator, plunged the nation into a bloody civil war, and unleashed open slave markets back in Africa.

Secretary of State Rubio met in Washington on June 29 with Saddam Hifter, the deputy commander of Libya’s eastern Libyan National Army and heir apparent to Field Marshal Khalifa Hifter, as past of the Trump administration’s diplomatic push to reunify a country that Clinton’s warmongering left shattered.

The State Department said the two discussed “possible avenues for cooperation to advance unity and peace in Libya,” adding that “the United States will remain at the forefront of diplomatic efforts to support Libyan unity and create the conditions for a democratically-elected government able to lead Libya forward.”

In 2011, when Clinton was Obama’s Secretary of State, she championed U.S. military intervention in a NATO campaign to topple Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

Emails later revealed she overruled objections from her own State Department lawyers to make it happen. When Gaddafi was captured by rebels and killed, Clinton laughed on camera.

“We came, we saw, he died!” she said.

What came next was 15 years of chaos.

Libya collapsed into civil war. Radical Islamic terrorists filled the power vacuum. ISIS established a significant foothold in North Africa. In 2012, radical Islamist terrorists attacked the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi and murdered Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. Clinton’s State Department sent 795 emails about attacking Libya in 2011. They sent just 67 in 2012, as the country burned and Americans died.

What she left in the wake was a resurrected African slave market, where Black flesh is locked in chains and sold to the highest bidder.

The International Organization for Migration documented between 700,000 and 1 million sub-Saharan African migrants were trapped inside Libya in 2017 alone, and up to 70 percent of them were enslaved and sold.

CNN captured undercover footage of open auctions near Tripoli, where an auctioneer hawked Nigerian men as farm laborers to the highest bidder.

“Does anybody need a digger?” the auctioneer called out. “This is a digger, a big strong man, he’ll dig. What am I bid?” Men sold for as little as $400 apiece.

It was not an isolated incident. Throughout Libya, hundreds — and sometimes over a thousand — men, women, and children have been bought and sold every single week for nearly a decade. The United Nations estimates that warlords rake in $1 billion annually from the slave trade.

Over the ten years since Hillary Clinton intervened, the cumulative number of black Africans who have passed through Libya’s slave markets could mean there are a million slaves in chains at any given time.

None of it existed before Hillary Clinton.

Now it’s up to Rubio to fix, and the State Department has seen the first tangible progress in over a decade.

In April, for the first time since the civil war began, rival eastern and western Libyan military forces conducted joint exercises under U.S. Africa Command supervision. Both sides signed their first unified national budget in twelve years.

U.S. energy companies including ConocoPhillips, Chevron, and ExxonMobil have already signed new agreements in Libya, and Washington has targeted a doubling of Libyan oil production by 2030.

It’s the first steps in reunifying the country and restoring order under a government for the first time since Clinton’s war tore it apart.

“The main goal is to unify the Libyans, unify the land, unify the people, and unify the institutions,” Senior State Department Advisor for Africa Massad Boulos said.

President Donald Trump himself could host the unification signing ceremony in Washington.

Hillary Clinton and the Democrats restored the African slave trade.

Fifteen years later, the Republicans are going to finally break the chains and end the chaos.
