Today’s rushed vote to extend Volker Turk isn't about merit or consensus; it looks like classic
@UN cronyism—an outgoing Secretary-General cutting a backroom deal to hand his long-time friend a four-year executive payout – one that could pay nearly a million dollars—just as he’s on his way out the door. Turk spends his time lecturing free, sovereign democracies like the United States for enforcing our laws and securing our borders, while remaining soft on the world's worst oppressors. It is the height of hypocrisy for a UN bureaucrat to lecture the American people on border security while brutal dictatorships run rampant with impunity.
