At the end of the aired interview, Amy Goodman briefly asked about the US role in the protests but Lee didn't address it and Goodman didn't press him on it. Very weak.

.@democracynow hosted US gov't-backed Chinese separatist Martin Lee to discuss the Hong Kong protests. Lee recently met with Pompeo and was given the "Democracy Award" by the US regime change arm National Endowment for Democracy. https://www.ned.org/democracy-story/interview-with-martin-lee-democracy-activist/ …https://twitter.com/democracynow/status/1168897190024163329 …

Why didn't
@democracynow disclose Martin Lee's links to the US government beyond the meeting with Pompeo? He appeared at the NED just a few months ago. Totally unethical to gloss over this. https://www.ned.org/events/new-threats-to-civil-society-and-the-rule-of-law-in-hong-kong/ …Show this thread End of conversation

I remember applying to work for NED fresh out of college. They told me it's in their charter that they can't work in the U.S -- a bit strange given their name... Imagine how many others are duped by similar organizations that are paid to "spread democracy" around the world.

It is like Antifa calling Trump to meet their demands. What will Potus do?
