An ambassador to Germany.. seems like it should be a process, not select someone bad...select someone good should be the general rule… but we are talking about tRump…
His selection for ambassador? Douglas Macgregor is being attacked by Jewish advocacy groups. Why? Comments about Germany, the Holocaust, and Jewish groups.
And it is not coming from a group of rightist, nor leftist Jewish groups:
The American Jewish Committee, the Anti-Defamation League, J Street, the StandWithUs Center for Combating Antisemitism and B'nai B'rith
Hardly extreme groups.
Some of his comments:
Macgregor, among other comments, criticized Germany for giving "millions of unwanted Muslim invaders" welfare benefits rather than providing more funding for its armed services, and downplayed the country's Nazi history. He described the German cultural concept of Vergangenheitsbewältigung, which seeks to "cope with the past" and confront the atrocities the country committed in World War II, as a "sick mentality."

I swear…..freaking ambassador to Germany of all places and he holds the views he spouts?
Then he rolls out:
"what you have are numbers of people who call themselves neocons. They operate in a variety of settings in the government and in the media, and they support or advocate, for all intents and purposes, unconditional support for whatever the Israeli government wants to do."
Wow...he spouts the whole dual-loyalty screed too.
Unfreaking amazing
