The New Republicans: Party (and Self) Before Country

Alternative Fact

“Trump has not been perfect on these policies. I’ve made that clear many, many times, but Biden has been a catastrophe. So I will be voting for Trump. Having said that, I stand by what I said in my suspension speech.”

Nikki Haley, 5/22/2024, explaining why she will vote for a person who she previously claimed is unqualified to be president (Maybe because she wants to be a VP pick?) 

Fact

“It’s disgusting. But this is what happens when Donald Trump goes off the teleprompter. That’s the chaos that comes with Donald Trump. That’s the offensiveness that will come every day until the general election. That’s why I continue to say that Donald Trump cannot win a general election…This is a huge warning sign. We have to stop with the chaos. We have to stop with the drama. We have to stop with the bad sound bites that keep happening over and over again, and we have to listen to the American people.”

“He [Trump] showed that with that kind of disrespect for the military, he’s not qualified to be the president of the United States, because I don’t trust him to protect them.  Anyone who will put down members of the military, anyone who will say that while they’re deployed — which is pretty disgusting — do you really want that person being the leader of all those who may have to go fight in a war?”

Nikki Haley, 2/12/2024

“The problem now is he [Trump] is not the same person he was in 2016.  He is unhinged; he is more diminished than he was, just like Joe Biden’s more diminished than what he was.  We have to see this for what it is. This is a fact: He [Trump] is now saying things that don’t make sense.”
