RT reports: That imperfection, she continued, lies in the “original sin of slavery,” which “weaved white supremacy into our founding documents and principles.” She then cited white supremacy as being behind the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Tayloy, and “so many other black Americans.”

Thomas-Greenfield’s comments have quickly made their way across social media, igniting criticism from mainly conservative users.

“She’s apologizing for America even though the UN Human Rights Council currently includes Pakistan, Somalia, Qatar, Cuba, Venezuela, Sudan, and Libya,” Daily Caller’s Greg Price tweeted in reaction.
