Former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley Just lie
“I didn’t think it was dangerous at the time,” said POLITICO Magazine’s Haley Tim Alberta in a full profile published Friday.
Haley, the former Republican governor of South Carolina who oversaw the removal of the Confederate flag from the statehouse after the Charleston Church massacre that left nine black Americans in a Bible study group in the slaughtered historic Bishopric of the African Methodist “Mother Emanuel” left behind, talked about “the big lie”, then – President Trump’s lie that his election was stolen, that he actually won re-election.
“I didn’t think there was anything to fear,” continued Haley.
“There was nothing to fear when I worked for him. I mean, maybe he was bold. He could have been dull. But he was someone who took care of the land. … I still stand by it. I don’t think we should ever apologize for the politics we fought for and the things we did in its four years. “
“Since the election …” She stopped. “I mean, I am deeply concerned about what happened to him.”
“What happened to him?” “Really?” What about what happened to the nation because of him? What about the seven or more people who died as a result of the January 6 uprising? The Capitol’s 140 injured cops? What about what happened to American democracy?
Haley repeated these feelings over the course of a two-hour conversation: “I never thought it would develop like this. I don’t feel like I know who he is anymore. … The person I worked with is not the person I have been watching since the elections. “
Didn’t you think his lies were dangerous?
Didn’t you think there was anything to fear?
Senior Washington Post political reporter Aaron Blake referred to a June 2016 Post article entitled “SC Gov. Nikki Haley warns that Trump’s rhetoric could lead to violent tragedy. “

As South Carolina approaches the one year anniversary of a racially motivated massacre at a Charleston church, Governor Nikki Haley (R) said Thursday that her party’s likely presidential candidate, Donald Trump, needs to change his divisive rhetoric.
“I know what that rhetoric can do,” Haley told the Associated Press on Thursday. “I’ve seen it.”
Indeed.
And now we have it again.
In Tim Alberta’s play he writes:
“Was Haley really surprised that Trump, who for the past four years had fabricated mass voter fraud allegations, would try to destabilize the democratic process? If the answer is yes, as she points out, that begs a fundamental question about their distinction. If she understood Trump so poorly – a man whose habits and methods she had ample opportunity to learn up close – how can she be trusted to deal with people like Vladimir Putin? “
What he doesn’t ask is, “Is Nikki Haley lying?”
