It's always great to see supporters of mass murdering Islamist tyrants rally in America. It really makes you feel warm all over.
Supporters of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made their presence known Sunday on Boston Common, gathering in condemnation of the attempted July 15 coup by a faction of the Turkish military.
Unsurprisingly all the women in attendance are wearing hijabs.
More than 200 people marched around the park and near the State House, in a show of jubilant solidarity with citizens still protesting on the streets of Turkey, said Ömür Budak, the Turkish consul general in Boston.
Sure. Let's quote the propagandist for an enemy regime about a gathering of "Americans".
“The rallies against the coup are still taking place,” Budak said. “We want the message to be known by the New England public that we will never let a coup be successful.”
The headline for this is Turkish-Americans, but the Boston Globe is letting a foreign butcher's lackey rattle off his spin.
During the tumult of the unsuccessful ouster, which left about 290 people dead, Erdoğan urged citizens to rise up against the military takeover.
His message resonated with the Turkish community in New England, which held a muchsmaller protest last Sunday at the Turkish Consulate General. The consulate in Boston received calls and e-mails asking it to plan Sunday’s larger event, said Budak, who addressed the group.
Translation. An enemy tyrant who supports terrorists had his lackeys organize these fake events in support of his brutal, murderous regime.
Turkey’s government made a series of drastic changes in the days following the coup attempt. It declared a three-month state of emergency, detained and fired thousands in a “purge” of domestic institutions, and seized control of thousands of establishments believed to be associated with Gülen.
Only in the third to last paragraph do we get any mention of this and it's widely soft-pedaled. The Globe makes no mention of the torture, the rapes and the other staples of Islamist tyranny.
Erkut Gömülü, the president of the Turkish American Cultural Society of New England, said the United States would do the same if its elected leadership were threatened in such a way.
“Many measures they’ve taken, it’s a defense of the republic and a defense of the democracy,” Gömülü said.
Except Erdogan's goal is to abolish the republic and then dispose of the remnants of the democracy.
