DECLINE WALKER FOR AMBASSADOR TO THE BAHAMAS

This is a Bahamian with a rare bit of courage.  The letter first appeared in The Tribune:

EDITOR,

NOMINATION of ex-NFL player Herschel Walker as Ambassador to the Bahamas by The US.

One thing is for sure since Independence the US sent some extraordinary personalities as Ambassadors…all top quality and brought a lot to the relations between the two countries.

I Googled Herschel Walker…there has to be some unseen reason that President Trump is nominating Mr Walker – least said but Google, you will I think come away with the same feeling.

My honest hope is the Senate Foreign Service Committee will decline this nomination.

We have not had an Ambassador for some six-eight years, last one the beautiful HE Nicole Avant.
