Kirstjen Nielsen

[madaboutharry]

She graduated from Georgetown and the University of Virginia Law School. Her name and appearance suggests Scandinavian ancestry. And yet she responded to a question from Patrick Leahy that she "did not know" that almost all the people living in Norway are white.

How much is a job worth to these people? What makes them so willing to give up their dignity?

[spanone]

1. File Under:

you can't make this shit up.

why are these people willing to lie for donald fucking trump?

i. do. not. get. it.

[Stinky The Clown]

4. She's lying for John Kelly, not Captain Cholesterol

[Bleacher Creature]

23. Agree. And on immigration, Kelly is just as crazy as the 239 pound male model. NT

[davekriss]

5. Careerism

It helps to have an underdeveloped conscience.

[spanone]

6. or none at all.

[TheBlackAdder]

22. A Homeland Defense Chief that can't remember shit that was said. What good is that?

[unblock]

2. They value loyalty above all else. To them, she did the honorable thing

Horribly misguided values, but that’s the way they think.

[dhill926]

11. agree....

[jrthin]

3. They can't give up something they don't have. nt

7. Nazi's seemed to have a thing for Norway, just like Trump

Kirstjen. What a good Aryan.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. They invaded and occupied Norway during WWII.

The Norwegian resistance prevented the Nazis from developing nuclear weapons by sabotaging the heavy water (deuterium oxide) plant that they were using to separate uranium 235. The Norwegians are not generally fond of Nazis despite a handful of nutballs like Anders Breivik.

[C_U_L8R]

13. True

But Nazi's had a thing for Norwegian genes ... Lebensborn. Trump's got a thing for genes too. Norway too, apparently.

[dalton99a]

27. Trump lied about being Swedish

Maybe he wanted to be a real Viking or some such

[dalton99a]

26. Yep. Quisling was sentenced to death and executed by a firing squad

[RussBLib]

9. She looks like a cold, cold woman

Her eyes are so black they don't look real. No definition. No detail. She's sold out and I can see it on her face and in her eyes.

[woolldog]

15. lol

Stop being ridiculous

[JeaneRaye]

21. Black?

Actually, her eyes are blue, but I agree with the sentiment of your post.

[roscoeroscoe]

29. Lizard alien

Proof!

[SharonAnn]

12. "Love of money is the root of all evil". It's about the greed!

[hlthe2b]

14. Nielsen per ancestry.com

Nielsen Name Meaning
Danish, Norwegian, and North German (especially Schleswig-Holstein): patronymic from the personal name Niels, a reduced form of Nikolaus (see Nicholas).

[kimbutgar]

16. Its easier to play dumb then be truthful.

Case in point.

[pangaia]

20. PLAY dumb? Surely you jest..

[George II]

17. Even people who don't care about stuff like this know that Scandinavian countries are 95% white.

[krkaufman]

18. Cutting her too much slack

yet she responded to a question from Patrick Leahy that she "did not know" that almost all the people living in Norway are white.

Leahy merely asked if Norway was "predominantly" white, not "almost entirely." She was either lying or ignorant, both of which should be disqualifying for the post she holds.

[whathehell]

28. It was more like "Yes, I would imagine, but I didn't know"

weasel-like type of thing.

[BigmanPigman]

19. I had to turn her off ASAP!

Like Miller, Kellyeanne and Fuckubee Sanders. They really turn my stomach and make me go ballistic in a nanosecond.

[jmbar2]

24. What does it take to get arrested for lying under oath to Congress?

Seems like she's getting a lot of free passes. They need to nail a few folks' asses to make a point.

[LiberalLovinLug]

25. They say Putin is the richest man alive

No one really knows how much he has accumulated but it's estimated @ $200 billion.

Add onto that all the corrupt oligarchs disposable wealth under him and it makes for a nice little pot.

I would not be totally surprised if most every top R had been promised a tidy little sum. Trump was only the first. All that's required is to play out their roles as actual patriotic Americans.

[Mike Nelson]

30. She's...

...in on it. She's an ally of Kelly.

...also, after reading the comments about her heritage, I'm Swedish and did a family tree with help from relatives from Sweden and the US. It's a big list and there are no Kristjens! If there were, we would saw her off...

[NewJeffCT]

31. But, if you listen to Trump, Fox News, etc

the Scandinavian countries are being overrun by brown and black Muslims

[Vinca]

32. The worst part is, she's the person we're supposed to trust if there's a terrorist attack.

I wouldn't trust her to tell me if the sky is blue.
