‘Complicit’ Nikki Haley slammed for defending Trump’s military ‘loser’ comments with attack on Biden

Published 1 min ago on September 5, 2020By Tom Boggioni


Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley took to Twitter on Saturday morning to defend Donald Trump over his ugly comments about the military dead and captured, with the president labeling them “losers and suckers,” and then called on Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to take down a Twitter video post that criticized the president over it.

Haley, one of Donald Trump’s biggest boosters with an eye on a possible presidential run herself, was promptly called out for defending comments by the president that have been universally condemned as indefensible.

I think Pence will probably take his shot at being president, assuming that Trump doesn't try to run again.

were circling the Trump fiasco and demise, so as to rush into the power vacuum that he will leave, when he's defeated in the next election. I believe it. Anyone defending that POS is just as loathsome and degenerate as he.

It was worth leaving it there. As I said, it bears repeating.

Donald Trump called Nikki Haley a 'c***' John Bolton's book reveals - even though Jared and Ivanka wanted president to dump Mike Pence and make Haley his 2020 running mate

haley's husband was in the SCNG. So trump called him a sucker. Yet here she is defending trump.

her role in this pathetic and dangerously incompetent administration. She's part of the problem, not the solution.

And it is clear that regardless of the political cost of doing so, she is continuing to defend trump's totally uncalled for remarks about our captured and dead military service members, may they all rest in piece.

How in the world can Haley ever consider herself a supporter of our military? She obviously will throw anything (such as supporting our military) and everything to the wolves so she can get ahead of the rest of the GOP wolf pack in positioning herself for the next presidential run. I know that in politics, it seems like everything is fair game, but some things ARE NOT fair game, and making light of the sacrifice of our military service members is NOT one of them.

any Democrat with so much as a chimpanzee for a campaign advisor is going to bury her under that tweet defending the president for trashing troops for the next 50 years of Haley's life.

For what it is worth she is getting ratioed out of existence on twitter....

19k replies, only 5k retweets and 10k likes

For those unfamiliar with "ratio-ing" on twitter.... when you have WAY more replies to a tweet than likes and retweets, it means the vast majority of people really HATED what you just said.

She's delusional because if it IS still the trump party in 2024 it'll either be Biff or Princess Royal as the nominee, not her. Unless they're in prison, which is their rightful place and even then I'm not so sure they wouldn't nominate one or the other.

It will come back VERY VERY quickly with the politer versions of asshole....

It's our job to make Trump their albatross!
Don't forget to ask them, "Where were you when:
- children where placed in cages?
- your countrymen were deprived of their civil liberties?
- Russia killed our daughters and sons for money?
- children where killed by the 2nd amendment?
- COVID decimated our population?
- our political system was halted to a standstill by the self-proclaimed "Grim Reaper" even when a small return on our paid taxes meant the difference between sustenance or poverty?

... she would wait a few months until Trump is gone from the White House, and then she would declare the Republican Party is DEAD! If she were smart and ambitious she would start a new party with real ideals, concerns for women and minorities, support for the US military and veterans' affairs, intentions of fiscal conservatism, etc. In other words she should reclaim all the things that the GOP used to stand for.

Of course she'll never do this, but whoever does will be catapulted to the head of the new American Party that Chump has destroyed.

Just like Trump, she can't just keep her damn mouth shut and avoid this sucker-loser controversy. Noooo --- she has to rush in and grab attention for herself. What's that song? "Fools rush in, where angels fear to tread.

I guarantee you, the GOP will pass on all these Trump wanna-bes. They will be so poison. Post-Trump, the Ted Cruz's, Nikki Haleys, Marco Rubio, and Tom Cottons will be poison. The GOP will be promoting and championing the next generation of pols to rebuild their party. But it will take a long long time for the GOP to recover -- if ever.

We, the Dems under Biden-Harris , will have actually made significant strides towards universal & affordable healthcare, affordable pharmaceuticals, defeating Covid, green infrastructure rebuilding, overcoming climate change, new good-paying jobs, voter reform, criminal justice reform, community police training, solving student debt, ending the Trump tariffs, rebuilding our international alliances.

How's that for a list of Biden achievements-to-come? I don't know what the GOP will offer 4 years from now. Right now they got nothing but white supremacy, fear, greed, and hatred.

Either she is very foolish or very subtle.

You've got to believe that people who may otherwise never have seen this ad will see it on Haley's Twitter feed.

Nothing. All she had to do was not comment at all.
She wasn't asked a question. She interjected herself.
There was no downside to staying out of it.
This proves that she's just another R dummy!
Another one of them that cheated their way through college. Not sure how one cheats in accounting classes, but she got a degree but doesn't seem to have learned much.
