German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been named TIME's Person of the Year.
TIME Managing Editor Nancy Gibbs revealed that the woman who courted controversy in 2015 by opening her nation's border to hundreds of thousands of refugees and managed Europe's debt crisis as the choice in a TODAY exclusive Wednesday morning.

The worst selection in recent history.
Bar none.
Globalist favorite!
She is a Traitor to Germany.
Well, before the immigration crisis started she might indeed have been the “Chancellor of the Free World”.
Now, I can think of a more apt title (”Betrayer of the Free World” ... but what do I know? (sarc/off)
Because next to Obama, she is the leader most blind to the threat of Islam, to the sovereignty of the country.
If helps Islam at the expense of Western Civilization, Time Magazine will celebrate it.
Maybe Muslim Sympathizer of the Year.

EXCERPT
At a moment when much of the world is once more engaged in a furious debate about the balance between safety and freedom, the Chancellor is asking a great deal of the German people, and by their example, the rest of us as well. To be welcoming. To be unafraid. To believe that great civilizations build bridges, not walls, and that wars are won both on and off the battlefield. By viewing the refugees as victims to be rescued rather than invaders to be repelled, the woman raised behind the Iron Curtain gambled on freedom. The pastor’s daughter wielded mercy like a weapon. You can agree with her or not, but she is not taking the easy road. Leaders are tested only when people don’t want to follow. For asking more of her country than most politicians would dare, for standing firm against tyranny as well as expedience and for providing steadfast moral leadership in a world where it is in short supply, Angela Merkel is TIME’s Person of the Year.
Her name will live in infamy!
On the cover it reads, ‘Chancellor of the Free World’
Boy, is that Orwellian.....
“the woman raised behind the Iron Curtain”

Oh.
Interesting, very in fact. I was not familiar enough with European politics to know that.
She’s at least as deserving as Time’s hero in 1938.
We are living in amazing times. Everyday I wake up, it’s opposite day. Where’s my dinner?
There, fact-checked.
I laugh at Time and their insipid choices since the 1930’s onward. It is a joke.
Is it possible that this is a last minute choice due to Trump’ s proposed immigration policy?
Another Communist born traitor to her country.
She enabled her country to be invaded by the Muslim hordes without firing a shot.
She should be tried and executed.
Untold numbers of rapes, robberies and terrorist killings will plaque Germany for years to come.
Sad. I was sure it would be clock boy.
