A tragic incident unfolded in Lyon, where 23-year-old Quentin Deranque was fatally attacked by a group of masked individuals, leaving the community in shock.

In response to this alarming event, the U.S. State Department has issued a statement expressing concern over the circumstances surrounding Deranque’s death.

“According to reports confirmed by the French Minister of the Interior, Quentin Deranque’s death is attributed to an attack by left-wing militants, which is deeply troubling,” stated a spokesperson from the department.

The statement continued, “The rise in violent radical leftism is evident, and this incident highlights the serious threat it poses to public safety.”

The U.S. State Department emphasized its commitment to closely monitoring the situation and urged for swift justice, calling for those responsible to be held accountable for their actions.

The French government took umbrage at the statement, viewing it as an inappropriate interjection into a domestic issue.

When Kushner did not turn up, the French government cut him off.

“In light of this apparent failure to grasp the basic requirements of the ambassadorial mission, the minister has requested that he no longer be allowed direct access to members of the French government,” a statement read.

Kushner, a real estate billionaire, was jailed in 2005 in a messy witness tampering case.

When Kushner’s sister’s husband agreed to co-operate with authorities against him, he hired a prostitute to seduce him.

He then sent a surreptitiously filmed video of his brother-in-law with the prostitute to his sister.

Trump issued a full pardon to Kushner in 2020.

Before being nominated to the plum posting in 2024, Kushner had no experience in diplomacy.
