“Sir, are you or have you ever been member of the underground terrorist organization known as PAAP?”
“Yes, senator, but PAAP is neither terrorist nor underground. We are a multi-ethnic multi-faith charity group, and most of our activities involve…”
“Yes or no, please. Is that true that PAAP stands for the inflammatory statement – let me read it, these are not my words – Palestinians Are Also People?”
“Yes, senator, but I don’t understand why that…”
“Yes or no, please. Let the record show, your answer was yes, you still insist that Palestinians are also people.”
“Yes, senator, I do.”
“Do you or have you ever supported Black Lives Matter, better known as BLM?”
“Yes, senator, initially I did. Then I lost interest when the news surfaced their leaders had used large parts of the contributions to buy themselves houses in highly affluent neighborhoods. Of course, I still firmly believe black lives matter, all lives matter, including Palestinian.”
“Well, that was a lengthy yes-and-no answer. Anyway, no more questions, thank you for your cooperation. It’s clear that you refuse to disavow PAAP, and you remain ambivalent or ambiguous, whatever is the right word, on BLM. I believe we have established enough evidence that we can refer you to the Citizenship Removal Committee. I know currently they’re busy with millions of Hispanic cases, but they should be done with those by tomorrow this time.”
“Senator, may I point out I was born in the United States? My grandparents immigrated to this country from Sweden.”
“Ever read the news, my good man? Birthright citizenship ended months ago.”
