Sally Yates Has Been Nominated For JFK Profile In Courage Award

The award celebrates officials who choose the public interest over partisanship, “who do what is right, rather than what is expedient.”

Sally Yates took a stand for something she believed in, and one of her fellow Americans thanked her by nominating her for a prestigious award for public officials.

President Donald Trump fired the former acting attorney general on Monday night for refusing to defend his recent executive order suspending refugee resettlement and banning entry of individuals from seven predominantly Muslim countries.

Yates was fired after she advised Justice Department lawyers also not to defend Trump’s executive order. She wrote them a letter saying she wasn’t “convinced that the defense of the executive order is consistent with these responsibilities, nor am I convinced that the executive order is lawful.”

People around the country and the internet have come out to show their support for Yates, and the hashtags #ThankYouSally, #ThankYouSallyYates and #SallyYates were all trending on Twitter.

But one act of appreciation stands out above the rest.

Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) tweeted out Tuesday afternoon that she had nominated Yates for the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award.

Good. We're going to need a whole lot more like her to defend the nation from Trump's tyranny.

Every leftwing mole in the Trump administration will soon be replaced if they are political appointees or reassigned to fill in coloring books if otherwise.
Hand out the Sam Browne belts, Comrade.
 
Acting AG Sally Yates warned the Trump White House about Flynn. She deserves the Medal of Freedom!

Justice Department warned White House that Flynn could be vulnerable to Russian blackmail, officials say

Yates is a douche bag who will say anything for the party.

Except that what she said is all true.

It was all a big fat lie.

The only liar is you! Sally Yates spoke the truth.
