Hypocrite Haley Getting What She Deserves

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

“I’m devoted to Donald Trump.” “Donald Trump is unfit for office.” “Let me make it clear, I support Donald Trump 100 percent.”

All of these comments were made by Niki Haley. The first was when she was the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, during the time when Trump was pretending to be your president.

The second was just one of many negative remarks made by Haley in 2023 and early in 2024 when she was hoping to win the Republican Party’s presidential nomination.

The third was at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

To call Haley a hypocrite is much too kind.

During her effort to win the nomination, it was well-known that Haley was an alternative to Trump. Republicans who did not choose ignorance over reality were glad to offer their support to the former governor of South Carolina.

Today Haley threatened to seek a “cease and desist order” against those same supporters.

REPUBLICANS SAY “NO” TO TRUMP, AND “YES” TO KAMALA HARRIS

After her reversal of opinion regarding Trump in Milwaukee, and Kamala Harris replacing President Biden, many of Haley’s supporters have formed a group in support of the presumptive Democratic nominee.

“The PAC, officially known as PIVOTPAC, was set up to encourage former Haley supporters, many of whom expressed doubts about both Biden and former President Trump, to vote for the Democratic nominee.” They have already raised about $500,000. Her complaint is the name used by the press, “Haley voters for Harris.” Without a hint of embarrassment for being a “flip-flopper,” she doesn’t want her name used by this group

"Kamala Harris and I are total opposites on every issue. Any attempt to use my name to support her or her agenda is deceptive and wrong," Haley said in a statement. "I support Donald Trump because he understands we need to make America strong, safe, and prosperous."

However, “Haley voters for Harris” replied with a very simple and clear statement.

“There are many other like-minded Haley voters who also do not plan to support former President Trump in November. Our rights to engage with voters and encourage them to vote for Vice President Harris – who in our view is the clear better choice for the country – will not be suppressed,” the statement said.

This election has finally become fun. There is now a reason to get excited.

ONLY FOUR DAYS AND HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE

Support for Vice-President Harris began like a small ocean wave, and has become hurricane force. In the first 24 hours Ms. Harris had raised more than 100 million dollars. As of this morning she had secured enough votes to win the Democratic nomination on the first ballot.

Republican politicians are wandering around ready to soil their underwear. I hope that a large number of them pay for their sins and their hypocrisy.
