Fox News Channel appears to have instituted an affirmative action hiring program among on-air contributors.
Incompetent low-IQ Obama administration spokesthingies are now in demand, or so the hiring of former State Department goofer upper Marie Harf suggests.
Stupid people need jobs too.
Harf just made her debut on FNC a few minutes ago with Martha MacCallum on “The First 100 Days,” which has replaced “Tucker Carlson Tonight” in the 7 p.m. Eastern time slot.
The mayor of Ankara, Turkey, Melih Gökçek, attacked Harf in 2015 for her characterization of Turkish police involved in a crackdown. “Where are you stupid blonde, who accused Turkish police of using disproportionate force?” reads the translation of his remarks.
Here are some Harf gems from her time in the Obama administration:
Terrorists need jobs
“We’re killing a lot of them and we’re going to keep killing more of them. So are the Egyptians, so are the Jordanians. They’re in this fight with us. But we cannot win this war by killing them. We cannot kill our way out of this war. We need in the medium- to longer term to go after the root causes that lead people to join these groups, whether it’s lack of opportunity for jobs,” Harf told Chris Matthews on MSNBC.
“We can work with countries around the world to help improve their governance. We can help them build their economies so they can have job opportunities for these people,” she said.
“Big words and big thoughts”
Responding to a Wall Street Journal op-ed by former Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and George Shultz about the Obama administration’s tentative nuclear framework with Iran, Harf was dismissive.
“I didn’t hear a lot of alternatives. I heard a lot of–sort of a lot of big words and big thoughts in that piece, and certainly there is a place for that. But I didn’t hear a lot of alternatives about what they would do differently,” she said.
The Muslim terrorist she called a Christian terrorist
In a discussion of the Muslim terrorist Joseph Kony and his Muslim terrorist group, the Lord’s Resistance Army, Harf waved a magic wand and made Kony and his group Christians.
“If you look at the Lord’s Resistance Army and Kony, Joseph Kony — I don’t remember people talking about that as much anymore, but that’s a Christian militant group,” Harf said. “So there are a lot of different extremists threats we face, and there are different tools we have to go after each one of them.”
