Secretary of State Tony Blinken has formally dismissed the statements of a controversial Trump-era committee that argued that some rights may not be worthy of protection

Blinken did not reference former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's"Commission on Unalienable Rights" by name, but his comments Tuesday represent a clear rejection of his predecessor's cornerstone project.Speaking at the State Department as he unveiled the annual reports on human rights conditions in countries around the world, Blinken declared that human rights are"co-equal; there is no hierarchy that makes some rights more important than others.

""All people are entitled to these rights, no matter where they're born, what they believe, whom they love, or any other characteristic," he said. The top US diplomat also said the Biden administration would once again document issues regarding reproductive rights in the State Department's country reports on human rights.

Hey, as long as it’s not trump’s rights or his cronies or his children’s everyone is fair game.

What had you done to BLM and Minorities Asian hate crime? Talk is cheap

One state one law🌏

How about China's ?

If they have a D after their name they shouldn't have any rights, because they are TOO STUPID to be afforded any!!

If it had been up to Trump and his GOP committees, no rights would have been worthy of protection with the exception of Trump's and the GOP's.

Like the 2nd Amendment?

Remove the 2nd 💪
