"Barrack says didn't use 'animalistic' in a 'derogatory manner'"
This is the headline from an article from the Lebanese news site "Naharnet" dated 08/28/25. It seems that on Tuesday Tom Barrack, one of the US fascist/diplomats, held a press conference in Lebanon and before it began he derided the assembled journalists and said:
“The moment that this starts becoming chaotic, like animalistic, we’re gone,”
So diplomatic. But a clear window into the true concerns of Barrack and others was given by his additional comment:
"Do you think this is economically beneficial for (U.S. envoy) Morgan (Ortagus) and I to be here putting up with this insanity?”
There we have it Tom. The mask slips and we see that the supposed "diplomat" is keeping foremost in his mind whether something pads his pocket or not.
Anyway his later excuse that he didn't use "animalistic" in a derogatory way is like saying you called someone's wife a tramp but meant it in a good way.
