President Ronald Reagan praised his UN ambassador, Jeane Kirkpatrick, for taking the “kick me” sign off America’s back after four years of Jimmy Carter throwing America under the bus. Jeane was America’s first female ambassador to the United Nations in 1981. She was a proud American who refused to apologize for fighting for freedom. She stood up to Communist Russia after the Soviets shot a commercial airliner out of the sky. And she reminded the world that America is a force to be reckoned with. When I became Donald Trump’s UN ambassador, I drew inspiration from Jeane’s conviction. Today, the Left expects us to apologize for everything — especially for loving America. There will always be people who “blame America first,” as Jeane said of the Democrats. Jeane Kirkpatrick’s story reminds us we have nothing to apologize for.
