WASHINGTON – Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Communications Director Danielle Alvarez released the following statement on the Biden administration’s decision to remove the Colombian rebel group Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) from the list of foreign terrorist organizations:
“Biden’s decision has legitimized and emboldened terrorists who have murdered, kidnapped, and attacked Americans and our allies across Latin America, in addition to killing hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in Colombia. The FARC has actively worked to undermine democracy in Colombia through violence and drug trafficking, and this decision is an insult and disrespect to Colombian Americans and all victims of the FARC’s attacks. Instead of removing the FARC from the list of terrorist organizations, Biden should be holding this communist group accountable for its violence, extremism, and oppression. This is another unacceptable foreign policy decision from Biden that is making America and our allies less safe.”
