More Biased attacks by the NY Times, any idea why people have little trust in the media?
WASHINGTON — The State Department spent $52,701 last year buying customized and mechanized curtains for the picture windows in Nikki R. Haley’s official residence as ambassador to the United Nations, just as the department was undergoing deep budget cuts and had frozen hiring.
The residence, in a new building on First Avenue, has spectacular views, and Ms. Haley is the first ambassador to live in it. For decades, her predecessors lived in the Waldorf Astoria hotel. But after
the hotel was purchased by a
Chinese insurance company with a murky ownership structure, the State Department decided in 2016 to find a new home for its top New York diplomat because of security concerns.

What they failed to mention until like Paragraph 6 is;
A spokesman for Ms. Haley said plans to buy the curtains were made in 2016, during the Obama administration. Ms. Haley had no say in the purchase, he said.
But then they go right back to blaming Haley, or at least hinting blame with;
The curtains themselves cost $29,900, while the motors and hardware needed to open and close them automatically
cost $22,801, according to the contracts. Installation took place from March to August of last year, during Ms. Haley’s tenure as ambassador. Ms. Haley’s curtains are more expensive than the
$31,000 dining room set purchased for the office of Ben Carson,
So they were installed starting in March 17? well that means the contract was bid in around Sep-Oct 16 awarded Nov-Dec 16, Who was in charge then???? Wasn't it John Kerry and POTUS Obama?
Guess it sounds better to blame Haley..........
