State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert on Tuesday cited the D-Day invasion during an answer about the current state of US-German relations.
Your new U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, everyone.
'You have six months to educate Heather Nauert on the history and significance of Pearl Harbor before she cites it as an example of strong US-Japan relations'
Yes, really.
“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 of Germany.”
The Trump administration hired Heather Nauert directly from Fox News, which explains her excellent grasp of basic facts familiar to most schoolchildren. But just in case you happen to know anyone else as ignorant as she is: D-Day was when over 150,000 Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy to establish a foothold in Nazi-occupied France. During World War II. In which “the government of Germany” was, y’know, not on our side.
Violence in the Central African Republic
Statement by Spokesperson Heather Nauert
June 2, 2017
The United States is deeply concerned by the recent violence in Bangassou, the Central African Republic (CAR), and continuing violence by armed groups in other parts of the country, especially around Bria and Bambari. We strongly condemn these acts of violence and the targeted attacks against humanitarian actors whose sole purpose in the CAR is to provide lifesaving support to the population. We underscore the fundamental need for all actors to work together to promote peace and prosperity in a country that has suffered for far too long from instability and conflict.
The United States mourns the recent deaths of six peacekeepers from MINUSCA, the UN peacekeeping mission in the CAR. The security and support provided by MINUSCA is essential for the CAR to move beyond crisis. The United States strongly supports the work of the UN and MINUSCA to promote peace and long-term stability in the CAR.
The people of the CAR have consistently demanded justice for the atrocities they have suffered. The United States fully supports justice and reconciliation—not only as measures for individuals who have suffered—but as essential steps towards building a peaceful and inclusive CAR. We commend President Touadéra and his government for their commitment to justice, the rule of law, and accountability for perpetrators of mass atrocities, including through the creation of the Special Criminal Court.

United States Concerned by Violence Outside Turkish Diplomatic Facilities
Press Statement
Heather Nauert
Department Spokesperson
May 17, 2017
We are concerned by the violent incidents involving protestors and Turkish security personnel Tuesday evening. Violence is never an appropriate response to free speech, and we support the rights of people everywhere to free expression and peaceful protest.
We are communicating our concern to the Turkish government in the strongest possible terms.
Morgan Ortagus will replace Heather Nauert, an ex-Fox News anchor who was Trump's pick for U.N. ambassador until she withdrew from consideration.
Ambassadorships = political payback
Kelly Knight Craft’s nomination to become the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations has drawn the expected criticism from those who are indignant about the very nature of ambassadorial appointments.
To be honest, I believe Craft will be a superior envoy to the world body than the individual who pulled her name out of consideration. Heather Nauert brought next to zero qualifications to the…
