From the "Why is Yovanovitch whining?" files: Flashback: Obama Fired All Of Bush’s Politically Appointed Ambassadors By His Inauguration in 2009

The former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch testified Friday about President Donald Trump firing her amid an alleged “smear campaign.”
...
Former President Barack Obama notified all of President George W. Bush’s politically-appointed ambassadors in 2008 that they must vacate their positions, The Washington Post previously reported.
...
“Political ambassadors sometimes are permitted to stay on briefly during a new administration, but the sweeping nature of the directive suggests that Obama has little interest in retaining any of Bush’s ambassadorial appointees,” WaPo’s 2008 article about Obama’s decision to fire all political ambassadors reads.

Yovanovitch was appointed by Obama in 2016.​

It's not unusual for a new incoming President to fire all politically appointed Ambassadors. Obama did but allowed a case by case exception for those wishing to remain. Trump fired all politically appointed ambassadors without exception, though that may not be completely true since Yanovitch was reappointed or allowed to stay on by Trump.

I'll sometimes dig it up when challenged. Sometimes not. Obvious matters don't usually require a response. It often seems like the requester is just wasting my time.

I have ... and haven't found anything other than Trump smearing Yovanovitch ...

Her job. She did her job, and the Trump supporters hate her for that.

For the reason that many have reservations about her staying on that post does that mean they hate a person? Didn't many Republican Congressmen and women speak honourably about her at the hearing? She knows they did and she knows they don't necessarily hate her. So why muddy the waters and claiming that they do? Merely hyperbole for effect?

Reading the horrible things that many Trump supporters have posted does demonstrate the hatred. It's false to say that they are not posting such awful comments.

Bobber, please don't defend the indefensible.
