‘Hypocrite’ Nikki Haley Slammed for Posting Memorial Day Photograph ‘Spending Time’ With Son – After Attacking VP
For the second time in 24 hours, former Trump UN ambassador Nikki Haley is under fire for a Memorial Day holiday tweet.
On Sunday, Haley was one of the leaders in the attack on Vice President Kamala Harris, who was torn apart by Republicans and Fox News for tweeting four words on Saturday: “Enjoy the long weekend.”
Many on the right were outraged even though it was only Saturday and not a Memorial Day. Haley declared Vice President Harris, who had spoken at the closing and commissioning ceremony of the US Naval Academy the day before, “unprofessional and unfit”.
Unprofessional and unsuitable. https://t.co/XuMo7W5i6d

But on Memorial Day Monday morning, when President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris were in Arlington to honor the members of the American service who made the ultimate sacrifice, Haley, a former state and federal government official, did not lay a wreath and did not attend any ceremony honoring America’s fallen soldiers. She enjoyed spending time with family – like many on that long vacation weekend – especially as the pandemic is slowing down and social distancing protocols are being lifted.
Things didn’t go well for the former South Carolina GOP governor who was accused of hypocrisy.
So, on this Memorial Day, do you spend time with your kids smiling on the beach? Funny, I thought it was about my fallen brothers and sisters. Enjoy your weekend on the beach. Very unprofessional and unsuitable. https://t.co/bsjYrIKqAm

Family blessings & spending time with your little one ???
How about thanking those who gave EVERYTHING?
You point your fingers, but you don’t even understand the meaning of Memorial Day.
Stop “enjoying your long weekend” – you are not fit. https://t.co/YdRx0VGbUx

Unprofessional and unsuitable! Spending time with family over the long weekend was not recommended, I thought. 🤔

This is what you do on # MemorialDay2021
While @VP you called “unprofessional and disabled”
Made an opening speech in Annapolis and paid my respects to John McCain’s grave
You are entitled to family time
But stop your hypocrisy
Especially if you’ve worked for Trump https://t.co/Pq6NcuusQJ

I don’t see you honoring soldiers … It looks like you are honoring yourself. So unprofessional that you can’t acknowledge this day https://t.co/YHoLcHcwmu

It’s wonderful that you have the opportunity to spend extra time with your family.
Maybe it’s not so bad to “enjoy the long weekend”. You owe VP an apology.
