In a move that underscores his preference for media-savvy appointees, former US President Donald Trump has nominated Tammy Bruce, a former Fox News commentator and current State Department spokesperson, as the US deputy representative to the United Nations. Announced on Trump's social media platform, Truth Social, the nomination highlights Bruce's transition from media to a significant diplomatic role.
From Media to Diplomacy
Tammy Bruce, who has been a prominent conservative voice on Fox News for over two decades, joined the State Department as its chief spokesperson in January. Her nomination as deputy UN ambassador marks a significant step in her career, despite her lack of prior foreign policy experience. Trump praised Bruce as a "Great Patriot, Television Personality, and Bestselling Author," emphasizing her potential to represent the US "brilliantly" at the United Nations.
A Controversial Figure
Bruce's career has been marked by her outspoken conservative views. Once a progressive radio host, she shifted her political stance following her dismissal from a Los Angeles radio station after protesting OJ Simpson's acquittal. Her books, including "Fear Itself: Exposing the Left's Mind-Killing Agenda," reflect her critical stance on liberal ideologies. As a spokesperson, Bruce has defended several contentious Trump administration policies, including immigration crackdowns and military actions in Gaza and Ukraine.
Senate Confirmation Awaited
The nomination of Bruce, who is openly lesbian and has been recognized by the Log Cabin Republicans, awaits Senate confirmation. The Republican-controlled Senate will also consider the nomination of Mike Waltz as the US ambassador to the UN. Waltz's confirmation has been delayed due to opposition from Senator Rand Paul over his stance on US military presence in Afghanistan. If confirmed, Bruce could assume her role before Waltz, potentially influencing US diplomatic strategies at the UN.
WHAT THIS MIGHT MEAN
The confirmation of Tammy Bruce as deputy UN ambassador could signal a continuation of Trump's assertive foreign policy approach. Her media background and conservative views may shape US representation at the UN, particularly on issues like immigration and military interventions. The Senate's decision will not only impact Bruce's career but also set the tone for US diplomacy under the current administration. Observers will be keenly watching the Senate proceedings, as Bruce's confirmation could precede and potentially influence the stalled nomination of Mike Waltz.
