This will teach her to think twice before talking.
An announcement was made recently stating the number of U.S. troops in Germany will be reduced, and former U.S. Ambassador to Germany Ric Grenell replied to a critic who stated that the “action was not made as part of a ‘strategy or a threat assessment.'”
Grenell said, “It may not be your assessment but it was planned and will be implemented by the Pentagon. Times change.”
Grenell’s response set off the former Missouri Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill who wrote, “Of all the sycophants and unqualified folks surrounding Trump, why do I find this guy particularly repugnant? Because he was given real jobs and didn’t have a clue?”

Grenell’s response to her was perfect. He wrote, “Ummm, you voted for me. Or was that because you had an upcoming election and wanted to hoodwink the people of Missouri into thinking you weren’t a partisan?!”
Ummm, you voted for me.
