They have a vision whereby the United States can unilaterally cancel a decision of the United Nations. And unfortunately these people infest the Trump transition team, these people are going to infest our government as of January 20th. And they are hand in glove with a similar group of people in the Israeli government and in Israeli political life who think that whatever they think can be imposed on reality."

Robert Ranco

Lawyer and Austin Community College (ACC) paralegal studies professor, Randy Ranco, recently resigned from his law firm after a disturbing tweet was brought to light. The scandalous tweet reads “I’m not wishing for it… but I’d be ok if #BetsyDevos was sexually assaulted”. After the negative backlash, Ranco tweeted what we could call an excuse; but no apology. The firm&#8217;s founder, Craig Carlson, as well as a spokesman for ACC, spoke out against his actions stating that his views are not reflective of theirs. He is currently still employed by ACC.
