I LOVE IT – AT 10:45 A.M. ET: Nikki Haley is terrific, the best ambassador to the UN we've had since Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Nikki believes in representing this country to the max. She hasn't drunk the State Department poison that turns ambassadors into mush masters, constantly genuflecting before the "international community."
Following yesterday's vote against the United States by the sheep in the General Assembly, Nikki immediately sent an invitation to those who voted for us, abstained, or refused to vote, to come to a reception to thank them for their friendship. Reward your friends, punish your enemies. From Fox:
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley sent an invitation Thursday to the 65 countries who didn’t vote against the United States in the U.N. General Assembly vote to denounce President Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
The invitation to the Jan. 3 reception marked a symbolic step of the U.S. taking note of who supports the country and who doesn’t.
Haley’s email invitation, which has been obtained by Fox News, asks the nations who voted no, abstained from voting or didn’t cast a vote “to a reception to thank you for your friendship to the United States.”
The General Assembly voted 128-9, with 35 abstentions, in favor of declaring Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital "null and void." 21 countries were absent during the vote.
Earlier Thursday, Haley, who has adopted an aggressive stance at the world body on U.S. priorities, took to Twitter to voice her appreciation to the countries who didn’t vote against the U.S. “for not falling to the irresponsible ways of the @UN.”
COMMENT: Great style. A former, outstanding governor of South Carolina, she's already being talked about as a future president. I'm in.
