Nikki Haley Claims Cabinet Members Tried To Recruit Her To 'Save The Country' By Undermining Trump | MSNBC
So, she tattles on Tillerson and Kelly to get in good with Trump.
@Malissa Ajeti wasn’t that the Conway who said that? Alternative truths?
@Hub Giles shouldn’t one’s loyalty be to country over party?
@V J Nope. It was Rudy G. Conway could have said it, too. I was so astonished when Rudy G. said that. I thought what kind of alternative universe do you live in.
Don’t you hate those kind of people
@Terese Woltz yes with a passion. It’s so blatant she.she’s using it to sell books. I question the validity of what she says. If she didn’t feel like reporting it at the time why bring it up now when she has a book coming out. Those are pretty important if it happened at all.
She was so concerned, that she filed a report about it, and started blowing the whistle…oh wait, she didn’t do any of that, she saved it for the book.
@esj8341 Why do I care if she notified the President? Did she file anything official, was the public made aware at the time, is there any evidence that what she says is true?
If this was as dangerous as she is describing, why are WE just now hearing about it?
@Sparky’s Space
“She [Haley] was so concerned, that she filed a report about it, and started blowing the whistle…oh wait, she didn’t do any of that, she saved it for the book.”
*vs*
“Why do I care if she notified the President?”
*vs*
…[I]s there any evidence that what she says is true?”

My bad for interrupting your argument with yourselves. And, I admit I have no idea why you feel it was necessary for Hailey to have to report the incident to the public immediately because I feel it is obvious that the danger she was speaking of was not directly nor imminently to the public per se but to the role of the Executive. If you’re interested there are at least a dozen reports online from GQ to the Guardian about Haley’s warning in relation to the “deep state.”
esj8341, what exactly is your point? Are you saying Trump wasn’t impulsive or dangerous, or in need of being restrained by his aides? Are you saying the chief executive should have unlimited power and be accountable to no one? Do you even have a position, or is it simply your mission to gainsay everybody else in an effort to look contrarian and “smart”?
@Andrew Mastin Re: “Are you saying?”
Quite an impressive stream of rhetorical questions, Andrew. My fav was the excellent “Are you saying the chief executive should have unlimited power….? However, I didn’t say any of those things about the President.
The subject was not even President Trump but Ambassador Haley. Specifically, Sparky’s criticism of Haley for not informing the public earlier that Tillerson and Kelley attempted to persuade her to subvert the President’s foreign policy directives. What is your point, Andrew?
You don’t need anyone to undermine him he does it himself 😂
@jones
Haha, not just Alabama!
@Jim Battersbee Sad but true. Trump represents the worst of us very well. And they are teaching their kids to hate. It will take decades to undo the damage to the moral fiber of this country that he has done in just a few short years, and likewise to our standing in the world after betraying our allies and empowering our enemies. But we shall recover.
@jones
Sorry Jonesy but there’s no way back.
What does Congress’ and/or the Supreme Court’s supposedly grand institutional power to check the tyranny of the imperial presidency really mean when Congress’s powerful upper body (the Senate) and the high court (whose presidential for-life appointees are approved only by the Senate) is controlled by the same party that controls the White House?
Cheers
@Jim Battersbee You raise a good point, my friend. Long ago I learned to separate hopes from expectations. This frees one to hope for anything if one does not make the mistake of expecting it to happen . . . . My hope is that the proof will get so obvious and the defense so lame that the tide will turn. I try not to dwell on my dark expectations; about the same as yours. Namaste.

@dolandlydia Trump’s buddying up to the homicidal dictator and ex-KGB agent leader of America’s greatest historical enemy doesn’t concern you? Because it certainly should.
Nikki your credibility is 0 zip nada. Go and disappear. Puppet.
lol i thought you LOVED whistle blowers!?
@Logan McLean she’s a bootlick coward who was talking trash about trump in 2016 and became his bootlick after u.n. ambassadorship
Tony Scott
Who didn’t trash trump in 2016😂😂
@Logan McLean tim scott
Exactly, she was on tape saying the opposite of what she is saying now. Come on Nikki, people fact check.
And Haley said “NO, phuck the country…I’m making money”
Except the country now is at the best it’s been financially and economically since the 40s…but ok lol
LEGACY PROJECT She is a Rep what can you expect? She’s always vying for VP if trump ditches Pence! Lastly she’s trying to deflect from impeachment hearings. Timing is no accident!
@Richard Grace yeah, lol, in your mind anyway.
This woman went to UN & told bold faced lie after lie for years, without an ounce of hesitation or shame. I can’t stand her incredulous, lying face.
Kia E what lies name them.
@Dia Atkin 1 day after the supposed chlorine gas attack in douma in Syria, she went to the UN & blamed Syrian Gov forces without any investigation or proof. She told the UN body that Iran made numerous violations of the nuclear deal, despite the inspectors consistently reporting Iran was in compliance. Her statements at the UN were often times hypocritical, immoral, bullying & disgraceful.
A total lying Republican Dee bag
@Tony Scott I understand she lacked the rspect of other ambassadors to the UN, who considered her a Trump mouthpiece who liked to scold their countries.
Amen!
To undermine an insane, psychopathic president is a public service.
Ted cox please give explicit examples of this man’s insanity. Would like clips . Thanks.
Nikki Haley is a dishonest sick person who is deliberately misrepresenting the facts to make herself look good…!!!
She is seeking out personal profits over defending the country. What a f****** Patriot
@American Gamer That’s great, the guy who can’t spell ‘sense’ thinks he’s the brightest bulb in the pack. Trumpworld is a truly special place, isn’t it.
@Rob C ………really? Patting yourself on the back for spelling error on a phone, one handed while waiting for a level to load on ps4. Yes I dont pay attention to my spelling. I guess I hope people are smart enough to look over it, but I guess brains stop when you have to really think about what a word is. Please, dont reproduce.
@Jeff Woods Yeah it get it, jeffy don’t confuse you with facts.
@Logan McLean like a lot of other politicians who supported trump, her career is gone.
*She ultimately chose to do nothing **_at all,_** and just let the country circle the bowl.*
*Even after +rump had sacrificed the LIVES of America’s allies,*
*to the benefit of America’s adversaries.*
*REPEATEDLY.*
I need her opinion on the (MANY) failings of “Anonymous,” like I need Jeffrey Dahmer’s opinion on Charles Manson.
I just lost the little respect I had for her. Trump is insane and the 25th Amendment couldn’t work. She should have helped.
Nikki has ambition. I am not impressed with her patriotism.
@Logan McLean Even his supporter, Lindsey Graham admits that the president is incompetent. Argue with him , why don’t you?
@Dee Pattison – The choice is clear, *regarding #45* …
‘Criminal’ *or* ‘cretinous’…we’ll let GOTPers decide *which descriptive* is *more applicable* this time. 🤔
“Faktriotism” FIFY
@Logan McLean LOL, gawd you inbreds are not only untrustworthy, you’re conceited about it.
At one time, I thought Haley might be a principled and ethical public servant. Over time I’ve realized that she is just another opportunistic politician with shifting morals.
She was never anything but that, you could hear it if you listened closely….
george plimpton. Well said!
George plimpton. My thoughts exactly. One of only 2 or 3 REPUBLICANs i thought deserved respect. How wrong i was
Haley proudly put Trump before US citizens and the Constitution.
Or maybe she’s like the rest of the republicans who don’t view trump as a criminal. The guy yet hasn’t committed a crime and isn’t getting impeached. Hopefully one day she runs for office
If they tried to recruit her, they must have thought she would put her country before politics…boy,were they wrong!
I hope no one buys your book you self-serving vulture.
It will probably will sell as well as Mein Kampf unfortunately🤢
Just lost my positive view of her. Another enabler.
Lloyd Guenther, glad your eyes opened early.
She was so concerned she waited until trying to sell a book, she also just confirmed everything in the ‘anonymous’ book.
@wel1968 Death for what?
@wel1968 WOW!
@wel1968 death to america
Hey Nikki, There goes the nomination🦨 AOC 2024
@Sean Haskell she is a coward
she ran
she is enemy
any not against the trump are less than human
And without saying a word to ANYONE (until her book came out), she now pretends to care about the violations of the Constitution…yet, when Trump labeled the Emoluments clause (in the Constitution) ‘phony’, she has no comment. She just confirmed that there are people in the trying to save the nation from Trump.
What’s offensive is that she is saying this only now to sell her book. Riiiight
did she say this when the rethugs were underminding PREIDENT Obama?
@La Roderick Nikki Haley has publically clearly stated, she did inform the President about Tillerson and Kelley’s attempt to recruit her to work again him.
Nikki Haley responds to Gorka: ‘I did’ tell Trump of concerns – The Hill
@CynAnne1 Trump’s treatment of women is disgusting.
Sincerely, Bill and Hillary Clinton
@esj8341 she only cares about herself and she’s a traitor.
@La Roderick Yet another solid rebuttal grounded in fact and reasoning by La Rod. Well done, sir.
She disgusts me as much as Ivanka does for some reason.
She disgusts you because she is a conniving self serving tattle tale whiny cry baby. She probably has a crush on Orangy or she has tasted the bitter fruit already. Ugh. That is why she disgusts you. You can smell the ick across the inner tubes!
Me too, always got a bad feeling about her.
Dems are paying u that well, huh?
