ShitStain Alert: US Ambassador Scott Brown under investigation for comments in Samoa

[spanone]

Washington (CNN)US Ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa Scott Brown says cultural differences prompted an investigation into comments he made that caused "offense" at an event in Samoa -- and that politics might have played a part as well.

Brown confirmed that he is the subject of a State Department inquiry after complaints were made after he told participants at a celebration in the Samoan capital of Apia that they were "beautiful" and could make "hundreds of dollars" in the services industry.

"Even though we all speak English, sometimes, you know, when we say one thing, it means the complete different whether it's here in New Zealand or it's in Samoa or other countries," Brown said at an event, video of which was posted online on a New Zealand news site Wednesday. "So noted and that's it," the former Massachusetts senator said.

Brown, one of President Donald Trump's early supporters who was seen at one point as a possible running mate, added that, "politics is a bloodsport back home and at this event there were a lot of people that didn't like the President. Sadly it's politics and it is what it is."

1. I think "beautiful women" making "hundreds of dollars" in the "services industry" means the same

everywhere.

I'm not buying that he was suggesting, hey, you could be a great waitress.

Also -- "services" industry? Not "service industries"?

I think we all know what services he had in mind....

2. Even if he didn't mean prostitution it was still insulting.

FFS, he just told them they could make really great servants in the US apparently. As usual, EVERYTHING is about money to these tone deaf idiots. The thought that they could make big bucks should outweigh any sort of pride or desire to do something like leave a positive mark on the world.

The Republican way of thinking and their set of values is all messed up.

3. In this culture that means prostitution

Cultural differences my ass. No wonder they were offended.

This is what results from having a sexual predator in the White House. The creeps feel empowered to creep.
