"Our Fates Are Connected. The U.N. Is A Symbol Of That" - Samantha Power's EXTENDED INTERVIEW

[@Krieky]

You feel so reassured when you see that there are people like Samantha Power in administration, contributing to making America and the world a better place.

[@chadhoward5976]

So well said!!!!!!!

[@hermangill8989]

She’s an absolute pro. So true Rickie.

[@00SmileTime00]

Tell that to the half a million children in Yemen that starved to death while she covered it up. Or the tens of thousands of Alouite women in Syria that were genitally mutilated and thrown in mass graves by people her office armed and funded.

[@oneirishpoet]

How refreshing to see people like her are in charge of the government again after 4 years of the criminally insane Trump administration. Samantha Power is one of the best and brightest this country has to offer and there are many others like her serving in the Biden administration

Power is the ability to collaborate and work together to use the infinite knowledge and world’s resources in a sustainable way and create a peaceful life for everyone. Thank you. Please keep working the future , the world and humanity are worth it !

[@deborahahonen6949]

I actually teared up listening to such a dedicated, brilliant, knowledgeable government official, compared to the mean loonies who command the news. She reminded me that we can and are still doing good in the world. Thank you, @samanthapower for all that you do. Would you please consider running for President? We need you.

[@Dreyno]

She was born in Ireland. I think that makes her ineligible. We’ll have her back in ireland as president though.

[@LochNessax3]

@@Dreyno It does, 😢😢 but no take-backs!

[@00SmileTime00]

Maybe you should tear up thinking about the half a million Yemeni children that starved to death because of her. You're right about one thing though, a storied career of covering up war crimes does definitely make her a suitable candidate for president

[@chezmoi42]

@@00SmileTime00 Your numbers seem greatly exaggerated. As reported last November, _"Yemen's seven-year-old war will claim 377,000 lives by the end of the year, through both direct and indirect impacts, a United Nations agency estimated in a report published Tuesday._ _Nearly 60 percent of deaths will be caused by indirect impacts such as lack of safe water, hunger, and disease, the report said, suggesting that fighting will directly kill over 150,000 people."_ How is, or even was, she responsible for that? UNICEF has been begging the member governments for humanitarian funding all along. They do not find the money growing on trees. The whole situation is a Middle Eastern clusterfuck of monumental proportions, and Yemen, caught between Iran and SA, suffers the consequences. Not sure how you can blame that on a diplomat.

That was the best politician I've EVER seen on The Late Show!

[@mariag.8242]

She’s a civil servant, not a politician. The elected people bring in experts to advise them on areas they know less about. At her high level she’s appointed by the president, but there are thousands of people who work for the American people regardless of which party is in the Oval; they’re experts who know how something works and can therefore advise top officials including cabinet & president on what’s feasible and how to accomplish the administration’s goals. The Dems are trying to pass a law that would prevent presidents from firing subject experts without cause in order to install obedient but ignorant stooges, as trump did.
