A United States Ambassador To Denmark & A Reality TV Star

[@larsholdgaard4284]

The reason why we liked him is simple: He is educated, he is well mannered, curious and bright, and he liked us, to much extend I think, because we accept his PERSONAL decisions with NO reservations.

[@commonsense31]

Seriously if you Americans valued cooperation and teamwork with Denmark you would send him and his family back to us in Denmark. He was truly the most amazing and well liked ambassador Denmark ever had the pleasure of having. So Democrats if you win you will send him on the first flight back here unless of course he wins the seat in the senate then we wait a bit

[@ChristianW1975]

He and his family will be missed, greatly

[@2200bronx]

I'm going to miss, Mr Gifford😢 Thanks for everything. Love from a Dane

[@larserikbruun]

I also think we will miss him and his husband he is a great American thank you for your stay mr Gifford

[@ghaffir]

HELP Rufus. You gotta come back. There's a woman running around here in Denmark claiming to be the United States Ambassador to Denmark. Make her leave.

[@j.d.445]

Rufus is greatly missed. He represented the US so well. He was respected - the US was too (opposite now with Trump in office). We were honored that he chose to marry Stephen in Denmark. Yes, we miss him.

[@-JustHuman-]

Please come back.....

[@anderseriksen2282]

You are allready missed here, people we have come to respect (and it takes a while), we have a hard time to forget, best wishes for your future Mr. Ambassador

[@steffenKJ]

We just love you Rufus 🤗❤️🇩🇰

[@donaldlang95]

Hi WGBH. Did you know that Abassador Gifford was also in a Danish game-show with his dog??? Dear Ambassador Gifford, please gone back to us in Denmark.

[@Earthrush]

He was a veyr liked Ambassador by all danes

[@KimaelSvenningfeldt]

We loved to have Rufus in Denmark. He was a fenomenal diplomat and we want him back😃

[@theriddler2277]

could you please just send him back.

[@thomasandersen1235]

Yeah.. Ambassador Gifford was uniting two nations, more then any before him. I hope he'll come back some day..

[@theWazimu]

We want Ruffus back! He is such a golden nugget from US!

[@unnix]

The new ambassador, Carla Sands, would never get the same respect i Denmark. The first day she turned up i a furcoat. If she had put herself into the Danish mentality, she would know that it is a no go. Animal welfare is a high priority here. It's clear that she's a frontsoldier of Trump's regime. As an ambassador, Carla Sands will, in many Danes' eyes, just be a pretty face for an ugly policy.

[@j.d.445]

I second that. Read an interview with her shortly after she arrived. I shrugged my head and thought "what an idiot and blindly devoted Trump supporter".

[@Crueligan]

@@j.d.445 Then it's a good thing that you, on the other hand, sound so incredibly tolerant of other people's point of view. (Disclaimer.: This comment may contain traces of irony).

[@j.d.445]

@@Crueligan Thanks, Jess 😉 She's completely out of touch with the country she's living in. On her personal Twitter account, she often retweets Trump favorites Representative Matt Gaetz, Team Trump (the Trump reelection campaign account), and Breitbart News 🙄 She also promotes a number of conspiracy theories. For example, she retweeted a tweet from Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, featuring a clip of himself pushing a conspiracy theory that the Obama-led FBI spied on Trump's 2016 campaign. She has tweeted a number of items from Praguer U - a group that pushes a right-wing perspective - including a tweet from the group that humans weren't responsible for global warming. In Denmark we are pretty serious on environmental issues. She also retweeted a hoax video from a conservative commentator that claimed to show black Americans attacking a white Trump supporter. The video was debunked years ago (the white woman wasn't a Trump supporter). What's not to like 👀. She just doesn't get that Trump and his policies are a million years apart from our way of living 🤷‍♀️

[@Crueligan]

@@j.d.445 You just proved the point I was making. People who dislikes Trump, his policies and his people constantly claim that they are oh so tolerant, compassionate, caring ect., but when it comes right down to it they cannot tolerate any other view than their own. Firstly. Are you seriously surprised that a political appointee, and a member of the Presidents party tweet out messages and opinions that supports the Presidents agenda, and which she most likely agree with? US Ambassadors cannot be compared with Danish Ambassadors, all of which are professional civil servants, who are not allowed to promote a sitting Prime Ministers personal agenda, but only the State of Denmarks interests. Prager U has an opinion no doubt about that. So what? Are you really saying that their crime is being a group with conservative opinions? If, according to you, no one is allowed any opinion that differs from your leftist perspective, then why just not come right out and advocate for the stalinist state you seem to long for. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NPR pushes a left wing perspective every single day, but I guess you find that to be just fine? I cannot comment on a unnamed video, so whether that's true I don't know. I can however, say that such things is something that happens, frequently I might add, on both sides of the aisle. The left for example loves to promote fake "hate crimes" endlessly, and when they are proven lies they just move on like nothing has happened. I really don't think that any side has the high moral ground on this issue. The President and his Ambassadors policies are perhaps far from what you believe, but many others would think otherwise. The contest is primarily between people living in the big cities vs rural people. City folks loves to talk about the environment. Cars should be banned. Gasoline prices should be tripled. Industry and farming should be closed down etc. That´s easy to say when you don't need a car or a bus to go to a job that a cityfreak so eagerly want to abolish just so it makes them feel good. Most environmentalists are such hypocrites living in nice houses/appartments with 2-3 60 inch TV's, iPhones and iPad for everyone and so on. If they really cared they would throw all that away and live in a tent, eating weeds or something. Environmentalism today, is the well off, punishing the less fortunate so they themselves can feel good. The same people who now think that the Coronacrisis is great because it helps the Earth, but they have absolutely no compassion for the tens of millions of ordinary people who lose everything. I find it despicable. I quote you. "She just doesn't get that Trump and his policies are a million years apart from our way of living". Well obviously, she has a different perspective than your elitist one. If you were appointed ambassador to a foreign country would you immediately adapt all you views to the prevailing ones in the country to which you were sent, if they differed significantly from your own? I think not. You would still proudly stand on your soapbox screaming "Ze ice is smelting at the powles" .

[@sydvestjyden2095]

Nonsense, Michael. Denmark is the biggest mink-producing country worldwide, so she just fit in. Why dont you hide your leftwing- hate against USA to another occation..

A tiny TV station? It was our national state TV. :)

[@pizzabagerenmujaffa8123]

and tiny is the right word , compared to other international media

[@drdewott9154]

I guess more so the subdivision. I mean when DR3 was still a flow TV channel it was really quite small. Like about on par in resources to a single regional station like TV2 Lorry or TV Midtvest. So small in fact that DR has since then pulled the plug on the physical channel and made their programs exclusive to DR TV, their streaming service. DR3 content is still made of course but the channel itself on TV has been cut.

Amerikansk ambassadør. Der var et tv show med ham. Han var så vidt jeg husker også homosexuel, så jeg tror det var derfor han pludselig var ekstra interessant i fht at lave et program med ham. Kan ik huske hvilken kanal det var. Ved heller ikke rigtig hvad han gjorde, han var bare lidt fremme for et par år siden vidst nok.
