GOP leader #SenThune is refusing to sanction a country, Georgia,which uses Chemical weapons on protestors.
Sad fact: US Senate Majority Leader #Thune, refuses for the 3rd time to advance Sanctions against the nation of Georgia, which has been taken over by Russian operatives. Georgia citizens have been protesting nightly for over a year now.
Yesterday I shared the BBC report showing Georgia's state security forces deliberately used chemical weapons on democratic protesters in Tbilisi.
One of those affected, @mel.ge implores us not to forget about the incident and ensure the offenders are punished.
