Former South Carolina governor and UN Ambassador in the Trump Administration Nikki Haley wrote an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal blasting the media for dividing the country to smooth things over after former president Trump rebuffed her on a request for a meeting.
Ms Haley reached out Wednesday to schedule a meeting with Mr Trump at his Florida club Mar-A-Lago, but he turned her down, Politico reported.
Ms Haley initially declined to reprimand Mr Trump over his lies about having won the election, telling Politico in December: I understand the president. I understand that genuinely, to his core, he believes he was wronged. This is not him making it up.
But after the insurrection at the Capitol on 6 January, Ms Haley finally criticised Mr Trump. On 12 January, she told Politico: I think hes going to find himself further and further isolated. I think his business is suffering at this point. I think hes lost any sort of political viability he was going to have. I think hes lost his social media, which meant the world to him. I mean, I think hes lost the things that really could have kept him moving. I dont think hes going to be in the picture. I dont think he can. Hes fallen so far.

Much much dumber than I ever thought!

The GOP is going to ride this horse until it strokes out. In so doing they are going to destroy the country.

(89,251 posts)What disgusts me is how the media praised her when she only did something after Roof shot and killed a bunch of black people in church . But she had done nothing before.
That's her entire history.
She plays both sides. She wants the support from MAGASHIT but also wants to be seen as what Murkowski actually is by the larger public which does not support Trump.
