This was intentional. By not sending any high ranking officials (Pres, VP or cabinet Secretary) from the adminisration it was a clear message to the terroriss - “I stand with you”

Since he didn’t say so himself, this isn’t the position of the fake POTUS.

U.S. Ambassador to France Jane Hartley was there. Contrary to the belief at Foggy Bottom, the State Department’s function is to represent the US to foreign nations, not to represent foreign nations to the US.

Whatever, just a bunch of ball-less wonders there who aren’t going to do a damn thing about it.

U.S. Ambassador Jane Hartley and Attorney General Eric Holder were in France and they couldn’t even be bothered to attend???! Its one thing to be too far away and couldn’t make it in time due to some previous appointment, but if you’re already there but still refused to go. Thats a snub

Well, he could at least have sent Al Sharpton.

I suppose Uncle Joe Biden was too busy creeping out the daughters of Senators to attend?

Offers no valid reason for this snub.

Probably because the actual reason, the NFL Playoffs, wouldn't have had the right "optics."

Yes, but according to the article Hartley did not attend the march.

I think the idiot may have sent Sharpton if he thought he could get away with it.

“The U.S. was represented at the march — by U.S. Ambassador to France Jane Hartley.”

I’ve got to admit, what’s the point of the march? There will be another Muslim attack on the French people, and then another, and another, and another, and another.

Are they just going to go out and march each time?
