President Trump has made the right choice in nominating State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert to the role of U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Predictably, however, some are scornfully attacking Nauert, a former journalist, as unqualified for the position. These critics are driven far more by their hatred for Fox News, where Nauert used to work, than their honest assessments of reality, and they are wrong. First off, in her…
