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.
