Today’s Action: Oppose Kelly Knight Craft as UN Ambassador
Trump has nominated Kelly Knight Craft, currently the U.S. Ambassador to Canada, for the position of United Nations Ambassador. And her credentials come as no surprise…
…Craft’s husband is billionaire coal baron Joseph W. Craft, III, and climate change denier, who bought her way into the political arena by donating $1.5 million to GOP candidates in 2016. She brings no foreign policy experience beyond her recent Trump appointment, but if confirmed, would represent the United States at one of the highest, most complex international positions in the administration.
Call or email your Senators and tell them to vote NO on Kelly Knight Craft, Trump’s pick for U.N. Ambassador. We can’t afford Craft’s science denying stance at the U.N., where international cooperation will be critical to saving our planet.
Craft’s confirmation to the United Nations will bring her to the highest table on climate change – and as the spouse of a leading coal producer, putting her in a key position to influence her family’s personal income. Her record on this topic is dismal, stating in 2017 that she believes “both sides” of the science.
It is beyond unacceptable for Trump – who planned to ‘drain the swamp’ – to hand the most powerful ambassadorship over to someone whose (likely) main qualification is an unusually high number of stays at the Trump hotel.
But, really, are any of us that surprised?
Email or call (202.224.3121) your Senators and demand they vote down Kelly Knight Craft’s nomination as U.N. Ambassador. Climate change and international relationships are too critical to allow an unqualified dependent of a coal fortune to lead the way.
