Those who says she's not qualified for the job must think President Trump was not for his, right? He had zero experience as a politician. He was just a reality TV star, a businessman. What the heck does he know about government, about running a country. Should have bowed out and let the scum politicians run the swamp as usual. Right?

Nary a peep from the naysayers here on that one.

From what I have seen of her she is smart, doesn't back down from a fight, believes in Trump and very pro USA. I think she will do fine. Lets give her a chance.

Full disclosue: 26 years in the DoS and retiring from the senior executive service, I can honestly say that there are very few “career diplomats” other than John Bolton who impressed me during my tenure. Most are get along, go along sycophants.

I have had only a tiny fraction of your exposure to USFS high-level people, but have mostly been impressed; not that they were "educated" to be good at diplomacy, but that they gained experience through working their way up the ladder. Again, I have only a little experience, and am thinking of perhaps half dozen people

No more foreign aid. No more money. No more American lives wasted propping up your shitty country.
And she should be able to diplomatically explain the ordnance load of a B-52 so they are not ignorant when it gets dropped on them.

Dang Yooper, I like the way you think!

She must be a great pick. I like her already.

Hamas-CAIR Opposes Nomination of Heather Nauert to be UN Ambassador: “Unqualified & Islamophobic”

If CAIR opposes her, she must be spectacular. The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is routinely presented in the mainstream media as a civil rights organization. Its consistent pattern of encouraging Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement is never mentioned. Reporters citing CAIR as a source or authority almost always fail to mention that CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. During that case, a captured internal document of the Muslim Brotherhood was released, naming CAIR’s parent organization, the Islamic Association for Palestine, as one of its allied groups, and explaining that the mission of Brotherhood groups in the U.S. was “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today called on the Trump administration to withdraw its nomination of Heather Nauert for the position of U.N. ambassador, saying she is “Unqualified and Islamophobic.”

Early next year, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will hold a nomination hearing for Nauert. CAIR is urging the Senate and members of the Foreign Relations Committee to oppose and vote “NO” on Nauert’s nomination for the position of U.N. ambassador.

CAIR said Nauert promoted Islamophobic smears while employed as a Fox News anchor.

In 2013, she criticized special swim classes for a group of Somali-American girls, describing the classes as the “minority becoming the majority at one community pool. Sharia law is now changing everything.”

In a 2009 Fox special on “stealth jihad,” she interviewed Islamophobic panelists, including notorious Islamophobes like Robert Spencer, Frank Gaffney and Nonie Darwish, who claims that “Islam should be feared, and should be fought, and should be conquered, and defeated, and annihilated.” Nauert has also defended Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric.

Nauert previously bashed refugee students in Pennsylvania for wanting “an even better” public education and falsely claimed that child migrants from Central America were “an illegal health risk.”

Other than her current position as State Department spokesperson, Nauert has no apparent diplomatic or government experience or expertise.

“Heather Nauert does not represent our nation’s diversity or its commitment to treating all Americans with equality and respect,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad.

“Such an important post should not be occupied by someone who is clearly unqualified and Islamophobic,” said CAIR Government Affairs Director Robert McCaw. “There are many other individuals who do have the knowledge and background necessary for this post. Ms. Nauert’s nomination should be withdrawn.”

Yep, you're hired. Everything CAIR demands should be opposed.
