UN Report Condemns U.S.

 By Alex Newman

 

The latest report issued by the UN Human Rights Committee demands that the United States crack down on free speech, change the Constitution, and allow more abortion.

While praising the Biden administration for supposedly making progress bringing the United States into compliance with United Nations agreements by promoting abortion, gun control, and transgenderism, the UN “human rights” bureaucracy released a scathing report last month slamming America as a bastion of horrors.
