U.S. Embassy in U.K. Contradicts President Trump on London Mayor
Big Government ^ | 6/4/17 | Michelle Moons

Posted on 06/05/2017 1:46:52 AM PDT by markomalley

United States Acting Ambassador at the U.S. Embassy in London Lewis Lukens commended London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Sunday, the day after another terror attack on the United Kingdom left seven dead and many more injured, and just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump had tweeted criticism of the London Mayor.

Lukens is currently the Acting Ambassador for the U.S. in the U.K. He took over after the departure of Ambassador Barzun. Lukens served as the State Department’s Diplomat in Residence for the Northwest at U.C. Berkeley from 2014-2016 under the Obama Administration.

London’s first Muslim mayor issued a statement in which he informed Londoners that there is “no reason to be alarmed” as the city increases its police presence in response to Saturday’s terror attack.

Everything you need to know in a nutshell.

The British ambassador should be a part of the admin team by now.

Is it possible to both recess appoint and have that person pursue confirmation?

President Trump absolutely needs a second term just to weed out the leeches, ticks, roaches, and bedbugs like this Lukens assclown. The federal bureaucracy is crawling with insects that need the Raid treatment.

Raid Insecticide

Agreed. I'd like to see this Lois character made an example of. Kick his butt off the ship of state with extreme prejudice.

Libs think they can thumb the boss in the eye whenever it suits them. They are going to be a continual distraction for the next four or eight years if allowed. Fire the entire diplomatic corps and appoint a committee to find replacements pronto with someone like Bolton overseeing it. He might know who all the rats are anyway.

Delegate, delegate, delegate. Repeat with all other departments concurrently.

Get it overwith and then get on with governance. Can't have this BS drip, drip, dripping during Trump's entire presidency.

First Off - the dweeb stand in Ambassador did not have to say anything contrary to President Trump - he could have just issued a nice sounding diplomatic statement supporting the people of London, England and the U.K. BUT NO - this Turkey had to get a dig in against Trump ... so the Secretary of State should be sending this guy to Lower Slobobia for a lengthly assignment...

"Lower Slobbovia." Nice "Li'l Abner" reference!

Agree!

From 2008 to 2011, Lukens was Executive Director of the U.S. Department of State’s Executive Secretariat, directing management support and overseas travel for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

This guy is a history major who landed a State Department job under Obama and Hillary.

Another traitor from the inside.

No going back to Foggy Bottom.

Once they are separated from the herd, cut them loose.

Terminated.
