Trump Names New Ambassador

President Donald J. Trump has officially nominated Leo Brent Bozell III, a respected conservative media analyst and strong supporter of Israel, to serve as the next U.S. Ambassador to South Africa.

A Bold America First Appointment

The Senate received Bozell’s nomination on Monday. His confirmation now rests in the hands of lawmakers in Washington.

This appointment comes at a crucial time in U.S.–South Africa relations, as tensions continue to rise due to the African nation’s alignment with Iran and its harsh criticism of Israel, a key American ally.

Trump Administration Draws a Line in the Sand

Under President Trump’s leadership, the U.S. has not hesitated to call out international leaders who undermine American values. In a bold move, the Trump administration expelled South African Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool, labeling him persona non grata after a series of inflammatory comments.

Earlier this month, Secretary of State Marco Rubio blasted Rasool for race-baiting rhetoric after the South African diplomat falsely accused President Trump of leading a “white supremacist movement.” Conservatives across the country have condemned the remark as divisive and unfounded.

Who Is Brent Bozell III?

Brent Bozell is the founder and president of the Media Research Center (MRC), a watchdog organization that exposes liberal media bias and defends traditional American values.

Bozell has been a leading voice in conservative media for decades, advocating for freedom of speech, pro-life causes, and strong support for Israel.

Though previously nominated to lead the U.S. Agency for Global Media, that nomination was withdrawn this week in favor of his ambassadorship to South Africa—further highlighting Trump’s confidence in his leadership on the world stage.

The Left Tries to Distract—Again

In a typical smear tactic, The New York Times attempted to shift focus by bringing up Bozell’s son, Leo Brent Bozell IV, who was sentenced in relation to the events of January 6th, 2021. The younger Bozell was later pardoned by President Trump, a decision celebrated by many who believe in justice and fairness—not political persecution.

A Return to Strong, Principled Foreign Policy

This appointment is another example of Trump’s America First foreign policy—one that puts patriotism over globalism and strength over appeasement.

As the 2024 race heats up, expect more strategic picks like Bozell, who share the president’s commitment to defending America’s interests both at home and abroad.
