    If she can insult Ashantis as one person .Why she cannot be insulted.

  • KK Boston 2 years ago

    Who are Asantes? Are you Jews or Angels? Even Jesus Christ was insulted by the Pharisees. I’m praying that this issue will travel far to American congress and British parliament or European Union parliament.
