/mlpol/ - My Little Politics

>U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell has expressed great excitement over the wave of conservatism in Europe, saying he wants to “empower” leaders of the movement.
>At a sit-down interview at his official residence in Berlin with Breitbart London, Ambassador Grenell said: “There are a lot of conservatives throughout Europe who have contacted me to say they are feeling there is a resurgence going on.”
>“I absolutely want to empower other conservatives throughout Europe, other leaders. I think there is a groundswell of conservative policies that are taking hold because of the failed policies of the left,” he added.
>“There’s no question about that and it’s an exciting time for me. I look across the landscape and we’ve got a lot of work to do but I think the election of Donald Trump has empowered individuals and people to say that they can’t just allow the political class to determine before an election takes place, who’s going to win and who should run.”

This news makes me so happy. It restores my faith in humanit and Europe.

But in other news. Unsurprisingly Germany's foreign ministry have demanded that U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell explains what he means with "Empowering European Conservatives".


>The ambassador has been rebuked for politicizing diplomacy at a time when US-German relations are already strained over Trump's withdrawals from the Iran deal and the Paris climate accord, along with his imposition of steel and aluminum tariffs on the European Union.
>But Grenell has since insisted that his remarks have been misinterpreted. "The idea that I'd endorse candidates/parties is ridiculous," he wrote on Twitter early Monday.
>Germany's foreign ministry has asked the US for clarification of Grenell's comments, according to spokesman Christofer Burger.
>The State Department did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment.
