In a nutshell, Columbia invited a Holocaust-denying, homosexual-executing, women-suppressing, genocide-advocating, terrorist-supporting national leader because its president is the quintessential liberal. He is a man with many good intentions who, like other liberals, judges policies primarily by intentions, and liberals know that their intentions are noble (that’s why they rarely acknowledge that conservatives can be good people).
But intentions matter little in policy making. Wisdom matters infinitely more. And there is little wisdom on the left.
