Ahead of the South Carolina primary, Nikki Haley is intensifying her critique of her GOP opponent, asserting that former President Donald Trump has become “more diminished” over time. In a series of recent statements, Haley labeled Trump as “unhinged,” accused him of siding with Russian President Vladimir Putin, noted that he confused her with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and warned Republicans that Trump will make them lose again.
Straight Arrow News contributor Dr. Rashad Richey contends that regardless of the criticisms Haley levels against Trump, his followers will remain steadfast and unaffected by her attempts to sway their support.
There’s no way in hell that she actually can win the Republican primary. She’s not, in my opinion, she is not bigoted enough. She vacillates on things that are clearly, clearly defined in her party as a no-no. Nikki Haley, you cannot be a moderate one day and then be an insensitive racist the next day. You have to choose your side here.
But I digress. She is now making this about cognitive decline. She’s making this argument why? Maybe because she thinks that the argument works. Possibly. She also said that Trump, after he endorsed a slate of individuals to take over the Republican Party, that Trump wants to be a king, but we don’t like kings in America. All right. Here’s the thing: once again, hypocrisy from the Right.
While she says that Donald Trump is unhinged, while she’s saying that Donald Trump wants to be a king — which is a dictator, and by the way, I agree — when Donald Trump clinches the Republican nomination, she’s going to endorse Donald Trump, which means she’s willing to endorse someone who she believes is unhinged. She’s willing to endorse someone she believes is in cognitive decline. And she’s willing to endorse the one who, in fact, would prefer to be a dictator.
