Heather Nauert pulled from rotation. She was doomed from the start. She wanted to be UN Ambassador. |
The search is on for a replacement for cannon fired U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley hit a snag. The replacement decided to take her name out the running. A scandal's afoot.
Heather Nauert, former State Department spox was chosen to be the UN Ambassador. She was considered a bad choice from the start. Given she has no world experience and her days as a Fox News agitator were considered a problem from the start.
Nauert was picked by Donald J. Trump in December after Haley was fired out the cannon.
Her name didn't make even into the Senate.
"I am grateful to [Donald J. Trump] and Secretary Pompeo for the trust they place in me for considering me for the position of US Ambassador to the United Nations. However, the past two months have been grueling for my family and therefore it is in the best interest of my family that I withdraw my name from consideration. Serving in the Administration for the past two years has been one of the highest honors of my life and I will always be grateful to [Trump, Pompeo] and my colleagues at the State Department for their support."
Trump will make a new choice soon. It will be another disaster in the waiting.
Before joining the State Department, Nauert employed a nanny who was in the United States legally but was not legally allowed to work, a source familiar with the matter and an administration official told the folks over at CNN.
Nauert disclosed the nanny when she filled out the paperwork for the UN position. When it became apparent in the past week that nanny would become an issue. Nauert decided to step away because "she was not aware of how tough it was going to make it."
Nauert became State Department spokeswoman in April 2017.
Nauert would be embarrassment on the world stage. For one thing, she was a contributor to Sean "Softball" Hannity's right wing carnival. She appeared on Fox & Friends, a favorite program for Trump. She would push kookspiracy stories about Muslims.
She hosted an hour long special, Terror from Within, a documentary that featured anti-Muslim activists. She also made the accusation that Muslim-based schools in the United States were radicalizing children to the so-called jihad.
Nauert's bigotry would have caused tensions with Muslim nations. Matter of fact, she would have been considered a problem for the African Union and Arab League. There are members of UN who are Muslim and they do condemn terrorism and bigotry.
Nauert may return to Fox News or find another outlet to spew her venom.
