President Trump's nominee to become ambassador to Germany has a history of controversial statements on race, geopolitics and use of force against civilians, according to an analysis by CNN's KFile.
According to the report, retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor has made multiple public statements warning against the supposed Islamization of Europe, calling for deadly force against Latin Americans on the U.S.-Mexico border and defending Russia's illegal military involvement in Ukraine.

Muslim Immigration in Germany:Macgregor warned that Muslim immigrants enter Germany "with the goal of eventually turning Europe into an Islamic state" and criticized the country for providing welfare benefits to "millions of unwanted Muslim invaders" rather than increasing defense spending
The US-Mexico Border: Macgregor said that "Mexicans with no education, no skills and the wrong culture" were being driven into the United States by drug cartels..."The only solution is martial law on the border, putting the United States Army in charge of it and closing it off would take about 30, 40,000 troops. We're talking about the regular army. You need robust rules of engagement. That means that you can shoot people as required if your life is in danger."
Kosovo: "So we intervened against the Orthodox Serbs, Orthodox Christian Serbs in Kosovo and put essentially a Muslim drug mafia in charge of that country and called it a great success story for democracy," said Macgregor.
All of the above are accurate assessments of the respective situations in Germany, the US-Mexico Border, and Kosovo. Not surprisingly, Macgregor probably hasn't won many friends in Washington's swamp by saying these things.
Ambassador? this guy should be SecDef or SoS!!!
Sounds like a good man!
“Controversial”.
“Controversial”. Translation: Not in agreement with the Marxist globalist agenda.
Excellent! Not a swamp creature. Not an America hating denizen of Foggy Bottom straight from some Ivy League propaganda factory.
Based on Andrew “KFile” Kaczinski nonsense from CNN. Fake News calls him “controversial.” LOL.
Indeed
It reminds me of how the mass media always use "Far Right" as an epithet to dismiss conservatives and nationalists. You almost never see a Leftist described as "Far Left", nor are his views ever "controversial."
Exactly - a mere ambassadorship is a waste of Colonel Macgregor’s talents. He could contribute a lot more in a position with actual authority. Unfortunately, I doubt that the Senate would confirm him to a cabinet-level position. Not only would all Democrats oppose him, so would a lot of establishment Republicans.
President Trump makes an EXCELLENT selection here. Moonbats go ape$hit, film at 11.
That’s no way to talk about a ‘humanitarian crisis.’
