The World Economic Forum in Davos attracts global elites eager to shape policy far from their voters — and U.S. politicians are no exception.

While outside the conference in Davos, Rebel News journalist Avi Yemini saw Democratic Senator Chris Coons of Delaware holding a media scrum where he was criticizing President Donald Trump and his foreign policy. When the interview ended, Avi approached the senator with a direct question.

"Is it appropriate for a sitting U.S. senator to debate internal American foreign policy — and attack the president — on the world stage in Davos?"

Rather than respond, Senator Coons refused to engage, walked away, and stayed close to friendly media. The contrast was unmistakable: tough questions are avoided, while softball interviews are welcomed.

    I love the coverage Rebel News does. It’s worth paying for. But it would be nice if the appeals for donations weren’t so strong and frequent.

    In the States, leftist Chris Coons is considered a loud-mouthed, Senate glory hound, not to be taken seriously. You know: walking, talking feces, like most in the LPC, Premier Doug Ford or Mr. Albanese down under.
