“I am excited to nominate Tammy Bruce, a dedicated Patriot, Television Personality, and Bestselling Author, as our next Deputy Representative of the United States to the United Nations, with the rank of Ambassador,” the president shared on social media.
“Since the start of my Second Term, Tammy has been performing admirably as Spokesperson of the State Department, where she excelled. Tammy Bruce will represent our Country with excellence at the United Nations. Congratulations Tammy!”
