Nikki Haley doesnt think there's a basis for impeachment... she says "give the man a break"

Nikki Haley: I don’t even think there’s a basis for impeachment... Now they’re going to turn around and bring about impeachment yet they say they’re for unity... I mean at some point I mean give the man a break. I mean move on...

We've known she is a tRump loyalist like Sarah Fuckabee Sanders. Both are pond scum.

primary opponents, not to mention Dem opponents if she somehow happens to get that far, which I doubt.

She's betting on trump still being the power he is now as he prepares to face a second impeachment trial, humongous personal debts coming due and possible criminal and civil prosecutions in NY and maybe even Georgia.

That's a bad bet. She should just keep quiet. She didn't have to say a thing but she fell into the same trap Cruz and Hawley did...trying to grab a bite of maga support for herself.

whose lives were actually at stake on Jan. 6. Then again, lots of Trumpelstilskins in the building are ready to forgive and forget as well because, well, Trump! It's about whatever suits their political agenda, not what's just.

10. What I Say To Idiots Making This Kind Of Argument

Imagine you worked for a Fortune 500 company, and two weeks before the corporate treasurer is set to retire, it's discovered he embezzled millions from your employee pension fund. Are you gonna say, oh well, he's only two weeks from retirement, let it go.

OF COURSE NOT.

He would be arrested, taken into custody, charged or indicted, put on trial, found guilty, and GO TO PRISON. How is this different?

They not only can't defend their position, they get quiet, as they can't even reconcile their own hypocrisy.

Jan 6? To Heather Heyer?

If Trump committed mass murder on live TV, these people would make excuses for him.

He's already impeached. Twice!
We're discussing conviction by the senate Nikki, you blithering fool!
Impeachment is a ship that already sailed.
And, no we're not giving that incompetent fraud a break. If only because he was an incompetent fraud!

she's "in the wilderness" for now, without a meaningful job in politics and trying to maintain some kind of profile.
