The Univision anchor who engages in the journalistic equivalent of internet shitposting gets his eyes opened.....

Based on this article alone, I fail to see how the US State department have anything to do with their release.

"On Monday night, Kimberly Breier, the assistant secretary of state for the Western Hemisphere at the State Department, said that Mr. Ramos had been detained and called on the government to release him immediately."

Ramos thanked the State Department on *horrors* Fox News.

I don't think it was an epiphany, he had to have known that asking certain hard questions was going to land him in hot water.

And honestly, the US state department would have demanded the release of any American citizens regardless of president. This just happened to be on Trump's watch. You're laying it on thick right now.

Who is laying it on thick?

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/aug/27/jorge-ramos-tells-megyn-kelly-trump-a-would-be-dictator-with-dangerous-ideas

"Ramos said on Wednesday that the leading Republican candidate for president tried to silence him and revealed a dangerous intolerance for freedom of speech during their heated encounter in Iowa on Tuesday.

“Those are the things you see in dictatorships and not in the United States of America,” Ramos told Fox’s Megyn Kelly. “Clearly Donald Trump did not like my questions … and he tried to silence me. In this country you don’t do that.”

The anchor, a hugely influential figure among Latinos, said the billionaire developer’s views on immigration and freedom of the press ran contrary to US values. “His words are dangerous and his ideas are extreme.”"

Given Ramos' history (see the above), if Trump were the monster Ramos claimed he was, Trump could have intervened to let Ramos rot in Venezuela.

And, maybe Ramos won't have an epiphany. Pretty sure he'll be back at it now that he's safe and sound back on US soil. We'll see.

Shush you. Let him have his fake outrage for at least 3 pages. Take pity.
