After further investigation, I realize that this whole posting is a false accusation against Biden.

As the State Department spokesperson explained this has everything to do with a humanitarian effort to help millions of Yemenis that are starving and nothing to do with Ansarallah being a terrorist organization.

In explaining the reversal, the State Department spokesperson said the move �has nothing to do with our view of the Houthis and their reprehensible conduct, including attacks against civilians and the kidnapping of American citizens.�

�We have formally notified Congress of the Secretary�s intent to revoke these designations and will share more details in the coming days,� the spokesperson added. �Our action is due entirely to the humanitarian consequences of this last-minute designation from the prior administration, which the United Nations and humanitarian organizations have since made clear would accelerate the world�s worst humanitarian crisis.�

Ergo: Pompeo’s last minute designation of Ansarallah as a terrorist organization would have been a disaster for millions of starving Yemenis. I think that is a lot worse than Pompeo’s defense of Trump’s overthrow of the American government.
