Lewis Lukens wasn't fired for mentioning Obama in a speech to students.

Lukens was assistant diplomat to the Ambassador to the Court of St. James.

He was fired for discouraging Robert Wood Johnson IV, the Ambassador to Britain, from pursuing Trump's demand to have the British Open played on Trump's Turnberry course. The real reason.

BTW, I checked his Twitter account. Let's say he really likes Biden.

... but I can‘t help myself. Johnson is not the British Ambassador, he is the Ambassador to Britain.
