President Jonathan Nez blasted by another Navajo Times Journalist

(Starts at 19:09)

Another Navajo Times staff member has blasted President Jonathan Nez as just another president who’s not going to get anything done.  Pauly Denetclaw is a writer for the Navajo Times.  She is also a  great Navajo Youtube Vlogger as 'The Other Native'.  About 4 months ago she posted a vlog where she announced that Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez is overrated and we need to come back down to reality and re-evaluate him.  She says the Nez-for-Prez hype is just that, nothing more.

What has he accomplished?

She calls President Nez a “career politician” from his days as the Shonto Chapter President, Council Delegate, Vice-President, and now the Navajo Nation President.  Ms. Denetclaw asks us ‘what has he accomplished?’  Can you name one thing that he's done for the community?  She says nothing for his political career and nothing for his first 100 days.  He hired some professional people but they haven't accomplished anything either.  If you ask him, he doesn't say anything because he cannot offer a response, she says.  She also says that all he does is make appearances and testify.

Vacation in Washington DC

Ms. Denetclaw interviewed President Nez in Washington DC. She says that he spent three weeks in DC. He stayed at the Mayflower Hotel which costs $400 per night. For the lodging expenses, if you calculate that, $400 per night times 21 days is $8400. That’s $8400 of the nation’s money! There is nothing to show for that. Why do our leaders take these lavish trips when our Nation's revenues are down? I would like to go to Washington DC and stay in a hotel at $400 per night.

The Mayflower Hotel, Washington DC

A while back there was a white collar investigation into President Nez's trip to Disneyland and his family's use of the P-card. What happened to that investigation? ("Allegations against Nez include use of plane, P-card purchases")

The further we go, the more people are beginning to realize that President Jonathan Nez is just like the others. He is not going to accomplish anything. All he does is spend spend spend.  The Navajo Times has realized this and that is the reason they are criticizing President Nez.

President by default

And the way that he was voted in as President, People voted for Jonathan Nez because nobody wanted to vote for Joe Shirley Jr, not really because Mr. Nez was more qualified.  For the next elections, all the people who keep running and losing should not run so that we can focus on a qualified candidate.  These are people like Joe Shirley Jr., Rex Lee Jim, Dine Benally.  They just dilute the votes.
