Sorry for your bad luck Nikki, but there were many other Americans working on the 4th of July as well. Sure maybe you were trying to be sarcastic and funny, but the laughs didn’t follow – PB/TK
U.N. Ambassador Haley gets backlash after tweeting about July 4 work – By Dylan Stableford / July 5 2017

“Spending my 4th in meetings all day,” Haley wrote on Twitter. “#ThanksNorthKorea.”
Haley’s tweet — which came after North Korea conducted its latest test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile — was met with a swift backlash by those who called it tone-deaf for not acknowledging the U.S. military on Independence Day.
“While I appreciate your service to our nation, perhaps you should be thanking the nearly 200,000 US troops serving overseas on #FourthOfJuly,” Andrew Weinstein, a lawyer and former Obama administration appointee, wrote on Twitter, “not to mention those protecting our homeland, including the police officers, firefighters, and other first responders keeping us safe today.”
