Stunning explosion of cheers from Iran and China dissidents over booting of Obama holdovers at Voice of America

President Trump was happy as heck at the news that Michael Pack, his choice for new director at the Voice of America, finally got confirmed by the Senate. It came as a sort of miracle, given the dirty, protracted battle from deep state's Obama holdovers to keep him out. It was so underhanded it involved a last-ditch Kavanaugh-style bid to smear Pack as corrupt if for nothing else to delay his Senate confirmation to eternity. It was deep state at its worst and it failed. Now, what's probably the last solid Obama bastion of deep-state government has toppled.

Congratulations to Michael Pack! Nobody has any idea what a big victory this is for America. Why? Because he is going to be running the VOICE OF AMERICA (@VOANews), and everything associated with it... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 4, 2020

...Michael is Tough, Smart, and Loves our Country. This has been a big battle in Congress for 25 years. Thank you to our Great Republican Senate! @SenateCloakroom — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 4, 2020

 

Here's how the left is taking it in case you need to know:

This is BAD NEWS. Pack is a Bannon right-winger, & may try to turn VOA into a MAGA-propaganda outlet, broadcasting around the world. — Serenity Now! (@Cpo10za) June 5, 2020

But if you want to know who's howlingly happy about this, maybe even happier than Trump, take a look at what the battered democratic freedom fighters in hellholes like China and Iran are saying about news of this U.S. government agency's change of leadership.

McConnell needs to go. He has taken these appointments slowly.

Yes, we have judges, but McConnell is still a louse.

Great work! Next, defund NPR.

... It was deep state at its worst and it failed.

Failed? They delayed this for 3 years! Who needs an election when you can stay in power for so long after supposively being voted out?

Taxpayer dollars going for this piece of garbage. VOA has become a left wing mouthpiece perched at the foot of the US capital.

It’s trench warfare in the swamp. The left has taken a major broadside in losing the leadership of VOA!

Thanks to Obama, the VOA became a Mullah supporting (Iran) and CCP (China) mouthpiece. Some folks should be shot
