"It is absurd that the Biden administration touted their support for human rights while, in the same breath, offering official condolences for the ‘Butcher of Tehran.’ Clearly, the Democrat Party of today has become the pro-terrorist party," House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., told Fox News Digital.

The Chinese foreign ministry reportedly said Gallagher "interfered in China's internal affairs" without elaborating, and that China, therefore, will freeze his assets in the country and ban...
