This little story gave me a laugh.
Sinn Féin will not be attending St Patrick’s Day events at the White House this year, Mary Lou McDonald has said. The party president confirmed the move on social media on Monday. “The situation on the ground in Gaza and the West Bank remains dire. Israeli attacks on Gaza have not ended. The genocide continues,” she said. “It is important that Sinn Féin uses its voice to demand that international law is upheld and peace and justice prevail.”
There is a slight problem with this.
Sinn Fein was not invited to the St Patrick’s Day events in the White House!
In a statement issued to The Irish Times, the US ambassador to Ireland Edward Walsh said that “no members of Sinn Féin have been invited to the White House, and none are expected to be invited”. “Announcing a boycott of an event for which invitations have neither been extended nor finalised is premature,” said the ambassador.
“Premature” is diplomatic language for deluded!
They have declined an Invite that they never received, the media ran their little story and now we know they were lying. Sinn Fein are a bunch of extreme left hypocrites and it’s tragic that the mainstream media laps up their lies.
