Maybe you should point out what I missed? You won't, though. You'd rather play your usual silly games.

Why not start by explaining how


In 1964, Young was named executive director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), becoming, in that capacity, one of King's principal lieutenants.

As a colleague and friend of Martin Luther King Jr., he was a strategist and negotiator during the Civil Rights Campaigns in Birmingham (1963), St. Augustine (1964), Selma (1965), and Atlanta (1966).

He was jailed for his participation in civil rights demonstrations, both in Selma, Alabama, and in St. Augustine, Florida.

The movement gained congressional passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Young was with King in Memphis, Tennessee, when King was assassinated in 1968.

In 1970, Young ran as a Democrat for Congress from Georgia, but was unsuccessful.

After his defeat, Rev. Fred C. Bennette Jr. introduced him to Murray M. Silver, an Atlanta attorney, who served as his campaign finance chairman.

Young ran again in 1972 and won.

He later was re-elected in 1974 and in 1976.

During his four-plus years in Congress, he was a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, and was involved in several debates regarding foreign relations, including the decision to stop supporting the Portuguese attempts to hold on to their colonies in southern Africa.

Young also sat on the powerful Rules Committee and the Banking and Urban Development Committee.

Young opposed the Vietnam War, helped enact legislation that established the U.S. Institute for Peace, established the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area and negotiated federal funds for MARTA and the Atlanta Highways.

equates to "no RELEVANT experience"?

If you actually clicked on the links you provided you would see that all those people had experience in government. I found Powers' background to be particularly remarkable.

But you would have known this already if you had read the wiki articles before posting them.

Actually, looks like you did not click on the links.

Young only served 3 years as a congressman before Carter apt. him as ambassador to the UN.
(not exactly a world of experience in gov)


Power was briefly an adviser to Senator Barack Obama until March 2008, when she resigned from his presidential campaign after apologizing for referring to then-Senator Hillary Clinton as "a monster."
(not exactly diplomatic material)

Bill Richardson, apt. by Obama
(reportedly a history of corrupt business dealings-not exactly what should be considered as a diplomat)



Oh but Trump's pick, who currently works in the Dept. of state, Nauert.... :mrgreen:
bwahahaa

Apdst claimed they all had "zero" experience before they were UN Ambassador.

Andrew Young: two terms in Congress
Bill Richardson: 14 years in Congress
Samantha Power: Well, I have to just cut and paste this one because as I said, her background is pretty remarkable.

From 1993 to 1996, she worked as a war correspondent, covering the Yugoslav Wars for U.S. News & World Report, The Boston Globe, The Economist, and The New Republic. When she returned to the United States, she attended Harvard Law School, receiving her J.D. in 1999. The following year, she published her first edited and compiled work, Realizing Human Rights: Moving from Inspiration to Impact (edited with Graham Allison). Her first book, A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide, grew out of a paper she wrote while attending law school. The book won the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction and the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize[13] in 2003.

From 1998 to 2002, Power served as the Founding Executive Director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, where she later served as the Anna Lindh Professor of Practice of Global Leadership and Public Policy.

In 2004, Power was named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world that year.[14] In fall 2007, she began writing a regular column for Time.

Power spent 2005–06 working in the office of U.S. Senator Barack Obama as a foreign policy fellow, where she was credited with sparking and directing Obama's interest in the Darfur conflict.[15] She served as a senior foreign policy adviser to Obama's 2008 presidential campaign.

The three had about as much gov. experience as Heather Nauert.
If you read the links, you'd know this...

What makes their low level of experience so different and more acceptable than Nauert's?

Why do you object to Trump's pick so much?

Samantha Power was a journalist.

Bill Richardson was a representitive in the state legislature and Andrew Young was a congressman for one term.

All three of those add up to zero foreign affairs experience.

So you're lying about Powers' experience and admit that Young and Richardson had experience in government.

Do you want to try to hunt down some other examples that would better support your argument?

What foreign affairs experience did Power have?

By your logic, Nauert is qualified, because she does have "government experience".

What does apdt's claim have to do with my post?
I read the links and provided their minimal work exper. in gov.
Their qualifications were no more complex than Nauert's.

You simply minimize Nauert's qualifications because she is a TRUMP pick.
Try for some intellectual honesty next time.

He has no argument, apdst.

Nauert is just as qualified as the three you mentioned.
By the looks of previous UN ambassadors, they don't need a whole lot of gov. experience.

That was the REAL theme of the 2016 campaign. MAGA was just a code word for "I'm President and your not, **** you"
