As Twitchy reported, Amb. Samantha Powers posted a tweet about Daniel Pearl, the journalist decapitated by jihadists in 2002, that had people wondering if she was evil or stupid. Perhaps both? You see, she blamed it on a “cycle of violence” and called for “reconciliation.” Worse: She doubled down on the baffling and infuriating remarks.
Citizens are rightly disgusted by her tweets and by her record of twisted moral equivalency. Now calls for her resignation are rolling in on Twitter.
@AmbassadorPower @DanielPearlFNDN Maybe you should be Accountable and Reconcile yourself to the fact that your words are VILE. RESIGN!

@AmbassadorPower For the sake of individual accountability, you should resign. You are not fit to represent the United States.

@AmbassadorPower I truly believe that you are at the top of the list for the most incompetent Ambassadors this nation has ever had. Resign!

Resign now, madam —> @AmbassadorPower …Having our heads cut off by terrorist psychopaths breaks the cycle? @DanielPearlFNDN

Her record is indeed shake fist-inducing.
@AmbassadorPower You are not even qualified to chaperone a prom much less represent this country. #resign

@AmbassadorPower You should no longer be trusted to rep the United States at the UN when you feel this way. No correction needed. #resign

@AmbassadorPower You need to apologize to Daniel Pearl's widow and child then resign. What a heartless moron you are! @DanielPearlFNDN

@AmbassadorPower Resign, you disgusting sack of shit.

Well, Iowahawk didn’t mince words!
What say you, President Obama?

President Obama should ask for @AmbassadorPower's resignation. Daniel Pearl had nothing to "reconcile" with his anti-Semitic murderers.

We won’t hold our breath. Evil, incredibly stupid or both, this much is clear:
Make no mistake about 1 thing. Ambassador Power holds a view championed by a lot of "folks" in Obama admin AND who want to work for Hillary.
