Claudia Rosett’s Mightier Pen Illuminates Hong Kong’s Fight for Freedom

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

One of the most intrepid, impactful and courageous investigative journalists of our time is former Wall Street Journal foreign correspondent and editorialist, Claudia Rosett. Her brilliant reporting is the absolute antithesis of “fake news.”

In a first-hand account of the most recent, massive demonstrations in Hong Kong published yesterday at PJMedia, Ms. Rosett provided an invaluable assessment of what motivates their participants: 

“Hong Kongers, in defying Beijing, may be taking on the Goliath of modern tyrannies, but even against terrible odds, they are committed to this contest. That's how much they value freedom….

“Perhaps most intriguing were the parents who despite the warnings surrounding this protest brought young children….One after another, these parents told me the protests are all about their children. These are people who know what freedom means, and see it as a vital legacy for the next generation.”

Amen.
