This will come to America one day very soon. The Harris/Biden agenda is to control media and what America see's. We have discovered this week just how much work has been done the past 4 yrs without Democrats or media's help. Media has hidden many truths & are now being exposed.
The US is not extending the VISA'S of about 70 foreign journalists and returning them to their countries. Ask yourself why the US doesn't want them here.
Sad, for a few seconds I thought this was the US.
The orange dictator is getting ideas
COMING SOON TO A DEMOCRACY NEAR YOU..
