"Grenell is 'floating his interest' in becoming the next U.S. ambassador to Russia, say two sources quoted by The Daily Mail. He had an interest in the job - or at least he floated the idea to select colleagues."
"Putin's regime is extremely anti-LGBTQ, so I'm sure they didn't take that thought too seriously. That would never happen anyway."
"Grenell was so eager for the top spot at the State Department that he may have paid right-wing influencers to plug him for the Foggy Bottom post."
"Sources laid blame for the collapse of U.S. diplomatic negotiations on Grenell's 'freelancing,' which was seen as damaging and threatening to national security."
Ric Grenell is reportedly floating his interest in becoming the next U.S. ambassador to Russia, a position vacant since Lynne Tracy's departure. Sources indicate that Grenell, who previously served as ambassador to Germany, has expressed this interest to select colleagues. However, given Russia's extreme anti-LGBTQ stance, the idea is viewed skeptically. Grenell's previous attempts to secure high-profile positions, including secretary of state, have been met with embarrassment and criticism from diplomats regarding his approach to U.S. diplomacy.
