Former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley announced on Thursday that she would be losing the GOP Primary for President of the United States. Okay, she actually announced that she was running for president, but based off Conservative twitter’s reaction to the news, her announcement basically meant the same thing.
It didn’t take long for Conservatives to recall that Haley, who served as US Ambassador to the United Nations under Donald Trump, made it abundantly clear she would support him if he chose to run for president in 2024. Well, he’s running, and unless this is a clever ploy to pull GOP primary voters away from Florida Governor Ron Desantis, it looks like she was lying.
Nikki Haley in 2021: I will not run against President Trump and will support him in 2024.
Nikki Haley today: I'm running for President against Donald Trump.

Donald didn’t take kindly to her flip flopping; going on Truth Social to note how she once spoke glowingly of her inspiration to get into politics, Hilary Clinton, and her longstanding threats to cut Medicare and social security. For a normally ruthless competitor, Trump used kid gloves on his new opponent. Why? He knows she’s not a threat.
Nikki Haley has two political skills: lying and caving to public pressure. A lifelong Sikh, she had a duel Sikh-Methodist wedding in 1996, back when she worked in the private sector. But by the time she decided to get into politics in the very Conservative, less than three percent non-Christian denominated state of South Carolina, Nikki had realized Christianity was actually the superior religion. How convenient.
What else does South Carolina love? As the first state to secede, the Confederacy, of course. In fact, Nikki once proudly declared to a pro-Confederacy group that states had the right to secede. But when the woke mob came for the Confederate flag at the State House, that proud secession loving South Carolina girl did what she always does, she caved and got it banned. Apparently, we can’t celebrate a group that was unfairly attacked for doing something within their Constitutional rights, at least according to Nikki’s logic. Doesn’t give you much confidence she’ll fight for your unpopular Constitutional rights, does it?
Immigration? She’s anti-Trump’s wall and tends to go on and on about her life as an immigrant as if it has anything to do with our illegal immigration problems. Already she’s ramped up the ‘Biden’s Border Crisis” talk, but nobody believes she actually cares about the border. This is a woman who still has Bubba Wallace noose hoax tweets on her twitter page months after the story was debunked, and who won’t speak out against sending billions of dollars to Ukraine. You expect her to have the fortitude to send desperate migrants back to Guatemala? No chance.
We should all stand with @BubbaWallace today against the cowards who secretly put the noose in his garage stall. Watch your back cowards. Bubba has a bigger army than you do. #HateWontWin #WeStandWithBubba

Above all else, that’s the primary issue with Nikki Haley: she doesn’t have the courage necessary to be a good Republican politician. A Republican politician needs to have the guts to tell a grieving father that they’re not going to touch our second amendment. A Republican politician needs to have the guts to send a desperate minor back to Central America, when the media labels them a monster for doing so.
A Republican politician needs to have the guts to be labelled a racist, a homophobe, or a transphobe for trying to protect our country’s values, to be okay getting made fun of on every comedy show in America, and overall, to just be hated by the entire media industry, academia and half the nation in general.
Trump has proven he can handle it, and it likely only going to be even more okay after seeing how he was treated over the last couple of years. With his battles over Covid lockdowns and CRT, Desantis proves he can handle it every day. But time after time, when it’s really time to have a backbone, Nikki Haley falters, she stumbles, and she caves.
It’s great that Haley’s Indian background could open the party to people of more ethnic backgrounds. But if we want to encourage more Republican diversity, the place to start isn’t with someone so yellow bellied.
