Trump to nominate Gov. Sam Brownback as U.S. Ambassador

Source: CBS KWCH12

WASHINGTON, D.C. (KWCH) President Donald Trump has announced his intent to nominate Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback for Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom, Department of State.

Eyewitness News has confirmed this information through Kelly Arnold, Chair of the Kansas Republican Party.

Arnold says Brownback must still be confirmed to the position by the U.S. Senate. That process normally takes about 60 days.

“Brownback will make an excellent ambassador because this office covers issues he has fought for as Kansas Governor and as a Kansas Senator,” said Arnold.

It will be interesting to see the state recover when they raise taxes...especially on the Koch bros.

you are on your own, say good bye to Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, Taoism, Hinduism, and all the other religions... and I bet they go after non believers as well... HEY!! TRUMP DID tell the boy scouts, that everyone WILL BE SAYING MERRY CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR...even if you are NOT a Christian.

My family and I are Buddhist, (non practicing) and you will not hear Merry Christmas out of me, i guess they will have to NAIL US to their Crosses, ...fuck you TRUMP!!!
