Heather Nauert, Trump's UN pick, on being underestimated before: 'My belief is, honey, let me show you what I can do'

President Trump's nominee for the role of United Nations ambassador once played herself in three episodes of espionage drama “24" that featured counterterrorism agent Jack Bauer.
But skeptics of former Fox News host and current State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert's qualifications for the job might want to refer to her response 18 years ago when she was asked why anyone should care what she said: “My belief is, honey, let me show you what I can do.â€
Nauert, 48, continued her rapid ascent in the world of foreign policy Friday by being named by President Trump as a successor to Nikki Haley at Turtle Bay, just 20 months after she left broadcast television for the Trump administration.
Now that she is poised to represent the U.S. government at the U.N., Democrats criticized Trump for advancing someone with too little experience and said it was a gift to a loyal official, not a pick that reflects her ability to do the job.
