Does the U.S. deserve the Statue of Liberty? Not anymore, one French politician says

A French politician facetiously asked the U.S. to return the Statue of Liberty, suggesting the country no longer lives up to the values the green-hued gift represents.

Raphaël Glucksmann, a member of the European Parliament with the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, said at a party convention on Sunday that he had a message "to the Americans who have chosen to side with the tyrants … who fired researchers for demanding scientific freedom."
