Nikki Haley says to blame governors, not Trump — but most Americans disagree

By Josh Israel -April 8, 2020 11:54 AM2 Comments647

The former ambassador to the United Nations praised Trump for 'marshaling the federal response' to the coronavirus pandemic.

Nikki Haley, Donald Trump's former ambassador to the United Nations and the former governor of South Carolina, urged Americans in a New York Times op-ed on Wednesday not to blame Trump but their governors for any failures in the nation's COVID-19 response.

But polling shows Americans believe their state governments were more prepared than Trump to handle the outbreak.

In a piece titled "Focus on your governor, not Trump," Haley argued that "governors who complain about the Trump administration are, in some cases, attempting to distract from their own failures to plan and execute."

"Once a crisis hits, state responsibility is primary," Haley wrote. "The federal government can provide crucial resources, but the burden is on the governor and her team to distribute them. No two states are alike, and blanket approaches won't work."

1. Angling for the running mate spot, is she?

Being a bigger suck-up than Pence will be quite a challenge, though.

5. That was my first thought, as well. She doesn't give up willingly.

She says governors should be blamed for not preparing better.

Since the federal government has all the intelligence information (read by Trump, or not), they should have been alerted long ago about how serious this pandemic was supposed to be. It makes more sense to have a central purchasing/distribution point than 50.

She gives me a headache.

14. Yup, trying to get her nose further up tRump's as... easier to kiss that way........ nt

17. I am amazed at the number of people

That compete to lick Trump’s prostate.

2. All Republicans are this way, never accepting responsibility.

And always defending the Orange Shitfunnel. Because their political lives depend on it.

6. They have a different concept of "we."

It's not "WE THE PEOPLE." Follow the shipment of federal facemasks and you'll find out who he thinks he's obligated to. His tribe.

3. Thanks for publishing Haley's love letter to Needy Amin, New York Times

But really, can't she just send it in the mail? The Times has to be her messenger for this nonsense?

4. Nikki, thanks for your self-serving shitty advice. In the absence of Trump leadership,

my governor did a good job. So much, I wish he were running for the prez nomination 2020. Will remember you at the polls.

7. In a national crisis, it is the President who needs to step up. He

Is too incompetent to do so, and your attempted deflection falls flat, Haley.

8. And for being who you are

You are nothing to me.

[Mike Nelson]

10. Well...

... I think Nikki is running for something.

[Kablooie]

11. California just made a deal to manufacture millions of masks.

This should have been done by the Federal government for the whole country.

So blame Newsome, California's governor.

12. Oh shut up Nikki

Stupid fricking bhisti.

[maryellen99]

13. And she damn well knows if she was still SC governor, everything would've been open nt

[frazzled]

15. In other words: why have a federal government at all?

Just drown it in the bathtub. Which is kind of what this administration has been doing.

16. Oh Nikki, you should know by now there's always a tweet

Link to tweet

18. Why the hell did the Times allow this? NM

[Boomerproud]

20. Editorial board should apologize to Cuomo et al

who have battled this crisis plus an insane admin. All in the interest of "fairness," eh?

[lame54]

19. I say thank god for the governors

[sinkingfeeling]

21. I live in a red state so I can blame both!
