French Soccer Star Kylian Mbappé Perfectly Rips Paraguayan Senator After Her Vile Racist Post Attacking Him
In a post, she denigrated Mbappé's heritage and mocked him in shockingly racist terms, then suggested his Paraguayan opponent should have hit him during the game.
Mbappé posted a scathing response calling out Amarilla for her overt racism and saying that she had brought shame on her own country in the process.
Amarilla's post on X has since been deleted. But it read in part:
"The brute didn't even learn to write; instead of mother's milk, he sucked on coconuts, and the most educated thing he heard were chimpanzees."
She also referred to Mbappé as a "colonized Cameroonian, desperately trying to pass himself off as French"... which is pretty rich coming from someone from a colonized country herself, but whatever.
In response, Mbappé pulled no punches. He wrote:
"Madame Celeste Amarilla, you are a despicable woman and unworthy of your position."
He also pointed out that her "brazen racism" had completely overshadowed Paraguay's performance in the World Cup.
"You do not represent Paraguay, that country which has sweated passion and honour throughout the competition."
"Through your recklessness and your brazen racism, the entire world has already forgotten the journey and the historic effort that your players accomplished during this World Cup, making way for an incompetent woman who gives the worst possible image of her country."

The French Football Federation has announced it will be filing criminal charges over Amarilla's comments, which are in violation of France's laws about hate speech.
In a statement, the Federation wrote:
"These remarks are criminal and reprehensible. They must be prosecuted here as elsewhere. The FFF is reporting the matter to the public prosecutor's office with a view to legal proceedings."
French President Emanuel Macron has also spoken out in support of Mbappé, and many online applauded his blunt response to Amarilla.
Amarilla has since admitted her comments were racist, but has refused to apologize and has even threatened to press charges against Mbappé.
Previously, she issued an open letter to Mbappé explaining that she regrets having trafficked in the same racist abuse she herself has suffered.

But she then demanded an apology from Mbappé for "violence" against her and supposedly attacking her for her gender. She also scolded him for not giving her the deference she supposedly deserves as a high-position lawmaker in the Paraguayan Senate.
Given that that isn't how anything works, she probably shouldn't hold her breath on that apology.

Speaking to Washington, D.C., correspondents Pablo Manríquez for MeidasTouch Network and Julian Andreone for Drop Site News, Nehls said:
"We gotta put a bed sheet―a big bed sheet―over the Statue of Liberty."
You can watch him make his inflammatory comments here:
Nehls added while gesturing with his hands:
"She’s gotta go to sleep for a while ’cause we’re not letting anybody in anymore."
"No more. We have to get this under control. Instead of having a torch, maybe it needs a stop sign."

Nehls, a former member of Texas law enforcement who was once fired for reasons including destruction of evidence, is best known for his fawning adoration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump.
He wore a tie adorned with the POTUS's face to the State of the Union address and blamed the January 6 insurrection on everyone but Trump. In June, Nehls told reporters Trump was "born a very special baby."
The Texas Republican is not seeking reelection, but his twin brother Trever Nehls is running to replace him in Texas' 22nd congressional district.
In a joint interview for Face the Nation, Trever Nehls stated he is running because he and his brother want to "continue to support the President."
Texans should be thrilled with their priorities.
Patti LuPone Sounds Off After Turkey Denies Gay Cruise She's Performing On From Docking Due To 'Moral Values'
Atlantis Events CEO Rich Campbell described the decision as shocking:
“It’s pretty stunning, to be honest. I mean, and the reasoning behind it is that it’s a gay group.”
In a statement posted to social media on June 28, Turkish authorities said the cruise had “sparked significant public concern” because it was “planned by groups known for behaviors that do not align with the structure of our society and our moral values.” Officials added that there was “absolutely no possibility” the group would be allowed to visit the province.
On Friday, LuPone, who is scheduled to perform aboard the cruise, took to social media to blast the decision:
“I am shocked. The Atlantis cruise I am performing on next week has been banned from entering Turkey...”
LuPone went on to note that the ship, which is reportedly carrying around 2,000 LGBTQ+ passengers, had been “denied entry to Turkey simply because of who is on board.”
The three-time Tony winner continued:
“I am furious, but I am sailing, as the ship will make other ports of call. I am ready to perform for all the wonderful men on this Atlantis cruise, who deserve so much better than this.”
The outspoken performer has long been a supporter of LGBTQ+ causes. Over the years, LuPone has participated in events benefiting queer organizations, including the Uprising of Love concert, which raised funds through the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice to support LGBTQ+ communities around the world.

LuPone's post quickly drew attention from fans and supporters, many of whom applauded the Broadway star for speaking out against the decision and standing in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ passengers affected by it.

Campbell told USA Today that Atlantis cruises have docked in Istanbul and Kuşadası 13 times over the past 25 years. He said the company worked with the U.S. Embassy in Turkey to persuade local officials to reverse their decision ahead of the voyage, but those efforts were unsuccessful.
Campbell expressed concern about the broader implications of the decision:
“It’s very concerning to me when a country decides they can pick and choose which tourists are allowed in and which are not.”
While homosexuality is legal in Turkey, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has repeatedly drawn criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates over his rhetoric and policies concerning the community. Last year, the Turkish government proposed judicial reforms that included provisions targeting behavior deemed “contrary to biological sex and general morality,” though the legislation was later withdrawn.
The cruise controversy comes amid continued tensions surrounding LGBTQ+ rights in the country. Last weekend, dozens of demonstrators were reportedly detained during a banned Pride event in Istanbul.
The arrests came a day after Turkish officials ordered the closure of an Istanbul gay bar following a campaign by Islamist groups claiming the venue's owner had organized a stop connected to an LGBTQ+ cruise. According to CNN, authorities cited an “Atlantis brochure” listing a party at the bar, though Campbell said his company had no involvement with the publication.
Campbell pushed back on suggestions that the cruise had any political agenda:
“This is not a political organization. We are not there for anything except to spend money, have a good time, take tours, and be incredibly respectful to every culture we visit.”
For her part, LuPone made it clear that the voyage will continue despite Turkey's decision. While the ship's planned stops in the country have been scrapped, the Broadway star said she still intends to perform for the passengers on board.
