WayBack Wednesday: Nikki Haley, Her Future Is The Past

Nikki Haley, former Governor of South Carolina and U.N. Ambassador in the Trump Administration, announced she is running for President of the United States of America, 2024.

The core of her campaign, she says, is that America needs to “move past the stale ideas and faded names of the past”, to a “new generation to lead us in to the future.”

She wants us to believe her positions and policies for America are, or will be, more moderate than, say, the past administration, the one in which she worked and gave her soul to.

That might be difficult or just stupid on her part because there is nothing different, nothing has changed from past commitments to her dear leader.

For example, at her launch, Haley chose Pastor John Hagee to bless her campaign (and Hagge was an ‘unofficial’ advisor to Trump and close to Mike Pence).

Hagee, among other offensive ‘sermons’ from the pulpit, of which the most un-pastor-like, most stomach-churning, most disgusting is, that ‘the Holocaust was a divine plan from God’, ‘that God sent Adolf Hitler to the world in order to be a “hunter” of Jews, advancing a divinely inspired plan to push Jews back to the land of Israel’.

So, just how is Nikki Haley going to label herself a ‘moderate’ Republican, and different from Trump? Damn, even when Fox host Sean Hannity asked her more than once to name where she and Trump part on policy. Haley dodged more than once.

Nikki Haley is a Trump Republican. Period. And here are a few examples of the kind of Republican Nikki Haley was, is and will continue to be. (Read, Listen and Watch).

In a campaign-style speech Tuesday in Pennsylvania, President Joe Biden FINALLY got serious about calling out officials in the highest levels of government who refuse to denounce the armed Capitol rioters, the pro-Trump insurrectionists, and their ever-increasing encouragement of political violence.

“You can’t be pro-law enforcement and pro-insurrection. You can’t be a party of law and order and call the people who attacked the police on January 6 patriots. You can’t do it”.

“It’s sickening to see the new attacks on the FBI, threatening the life of law enforcement and their families, for simply carrying out the law and doing their job.”

Adding forcefully, and loudly, Biden told the crowd of more than 500 at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre: “I’m opposed to defunding the police; I’m also opposed to defunding the FBI.”

Biden continued, calling out all the “MAGA Republicans” and “semi-fascists” in the Republican Party; but no doubt at one point specifically talking to South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham who warned Sunday on The American Far-Right Propaganda Network (TAFRPropNet) that if Donald Trump is held accountable for (illegally) taking classified documents to his club at Mar-a-Lago ‘there will be riots in the streets’.
