Trump Ambassador Slammed For ‘Insulting’ Guests On Overseas Trip

I could never be the US ambassador to anywhere. Mostly because I would accidentally offend people left and right. I mean, if you can’t tell people they look nice, we’re done here. I got nothing.

According to this, U.S. Ambassador Scott Brown– ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa– has kinda, sorta apologized for not being culturally sensitive enough.

He attended some sort of Peace Corps event in Samoa. While there, he complimented the well-dressed guests, using the words “beautiful” and “handsome.” Apparently, that’s inappropriate.

A New Zealand website said Wednesday that Brown acknowledged complaints were made about his ‘insensitive or inappropriate’ comments to at the July event in the Pacific country.

He’s also under fire for dishing out “financial advice” to waiters and waitresses. (And by that I mean, he told them they could make more money in the USA.)

By the way, he attended this event with his wife, so it’s not like he was hitting on chicks. Don’t get the wrong idea. It’s easy to do, since creepy perverts have been dominating the news cycle.

“There was a receiving line, and remember, we saw these kids prior to, and they were all like dirty and kind of grungy. Well, we walked in and everyone really was dressed to the nines. They all looked great, Gail looked great, you know I was dressed up and Gail and I both walked in and we said, ‘Boy you guys look beautiful, you look really handsome sir, you know, you guys are great,'” Brown said. “And apparently somebody took offense to that.”

“Uhh fine. I did say it, Gail and I both said that, absolutely,” he continued.

I really don’t see why he should have to apologize for telling people they looked nice. I don’t give a rip about your culture. That’s dumb.

“Absolutely told people they could make great waitresses,” he added. “I would say that to my kids too, in between jobs, hustling one, two, three jobs. Just get some money in your pocket and get out of there.”

USA is bae. Life is better here. I’d tell them that too.

The diplomat said the complaints had come as a surprise but he accepted the advice from the inquiry.

 

‘I was in fact told by my people, that “Listen, you know you’re not Scott Brown from Ryan, New Hampshire any more, you’re an ambassador and you have to be aware, culturally aware, of different cultures, and different insensitivities.” And I’m always welcoming that kind of good advice,’ Brown said in a video on the news site.

 

He said there had been some cultural misunderstandings, but also that many people at the event didn’t like Trump and he suspected there might be some political motivation behind the complaints.

 

‘Sadly, it’s politics, and it is what is,’ he said, calling ‘politics is a blood sport.’

Well, DUH. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was ALL about Trump.

Anyway, his wife is backing him up.

“This has been a real learning curve for us. I was with Scott the entire time … and I literally saw nothing. It’s absurd,” she stated.

Sorry, but I still fail to see how telling someone that they look nice is a culturally insensitive insult.
