Heather Nauert cited D-Day as the height of U.S.-German relations. Now she’s headed to the U.N.

The United Nations came into existence to vanquish Germany, as 26 nations jointly pledged in 1942 not to surrender to “savage and brutal forces seeking to subjugate the world.”

Three-quarters of a century later, the woman who would soon become President Trump’s pick to represent the United States at the United Nations cited the D-Day landings — a cornerstone of this unwavering Allied pledge and the basis of the Nazi defeat on the Western Front — to showcase the strength of German-American relations.

I think Nikki Haley/Heather Nauert will be a big contrast in styles!

You put that in quotes like that were actual words. Nice misdirection.

Her Wiki bio cracked me up.

She is a former ABC News correspondent as well as a past news presenter on the Fox News program Fox & Friends.

News presenter on Fox & Friends. :lamo The show that wouldn't know "news" if it bit them in the ass.

The actual quote:


“When you talk about Germany, we have a very strong relationship with the government of Germany. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the D-Day invasion. We obviously have a very long history with the government of Germany, and we have a strong relationship with the government.”



It was like someone b.s.-ing on a high school essay exam.

I guess going to war with another country is like having a strong relationship with them.

I can only quote what the "stable genius" once said:
“I hire the best people.”

She presents a visually appealing picture to the rest of the world. When you turn off the volume and listen/watch her speak, she has a presence about her:

I knew I couldn’t slip one past you! It was put in quotes because the passage was “quoted” from the article. I think they were “actual words.” Is there a staff opening you have your eye on?

She does her best work with the sound turned off. Long may that continue.
