President Donald Trump on Thursday nominated former Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) as U.S. ambassador to New Zealand.
In a statement announcing Brown’s nomination, the White House noted his career in politics and law, as well as his work as a “political contributor” at Fox News.
“I’m sure you’ll make the people of MA proud,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) wrote in a tweet congratulating Brown on his nomination.”
Congrats @SenScottBrown on your nomination for New Zealand Ambassador! You have my support & I'm sure you'll make the people of MA proud.

In February, amid speculation that Trump was considering Brown for the position, the New Zealand Herald gave readers a succinct summary of the former senator’s “colourful past” in a story headlined “Man tipped for US ambassador role in NZ a former nude model who supports waterboarding.”
Well, at least that’s one place we haven’t threatened yet. Enjoy the Kiwis, Brown. Anything to get that jerk out of the country…I’m for.

You can’t argue with Trump. Brown looks like what Trump thinks an ambassador should look like!
Do Maoris have anything like “Kill haole day?”
Just a thought:)
Hope he’s boning up on the language, at least.
That’s hilarious. I wish they’d write the stories over here.
