Bloomberg reported<\/a>: \u201cNauert, 48, is an unusual choice for the UN role given that she had little experience in government or foreign policy before joining the administration in April 2017 after several years as an anchor and correspondent for Fox News, including on the \u201cFox and Friends\u201d show watched by Trump. Haley also lacked foreign policy experience when she took the UN posting, but she had twice been elected governor of South Carolina.\u201d<\/p>\n NPR added<\/a>: \u201cNauert was camera<\/a>-ready when she came to the State Department in April 2017, having worked at ABC and Fox. She never traveled with and was not close to her first boss at the department, former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. With Mike Pompeo in charge of State, Nauert has been on the road much more. Yet\u00a0<\/strong>she faced some criticism for a tourist-like\u00a0Instagram post<\/a>\u00a0from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on a trip that was meant to focus on the killing of\u00a0Washington Post<\/em>\u00a0columnist\u00a0Jamal Khashoggi<\/a>.\u00a0There have been other missteps, including the time when she\u00a0cited D-Day<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 the Allied invasion of Normandy against the Nazis \u2014 as an example of America\u2019s strong relationship with Germany. She\u2019s been a strong defender of Trump\u2019s at the podium, something he has clearly noticed.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Trump Picks Former \u2018FOX & Friends\u2019 Correspondent Heather Nauert as UN Ambassador<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad Gay News<\/a>.<\/p>\n
