Interesting photo. Why is Newt in a semi-official photo w/ Ambassador? While I have no problem with US Army partnering w: Holy See and Catholic organizations to improve lives, this looks like a “made for EWTN” photo op. Cc: @mbayer1248 @CCamosy @MatthewSitman @RobertEllsberg
We were delighted to work with Major Schlass to explore how @USArmyAfrica could partner with the Holy See and Catholic-affiliated organizations to assist with providing humanitarian assistance and address crises across the African continent.

Maybe because he is married to the Ambassador?

Yes, married to the Ambassador, but I still question why a spouse in this semi-official photo? It seems to me it’s all politics and an appeal to the Catholic members of Trump’s base. Tie together Catholic support for military and Newt as Trump surrogate.
