I didn’t know anything about her until she was elected Gov of SC. It was quite a while before I realized she is Indian American.

know she is extremely ambitious & opportunistic. You really have problems when you hitch your wagon to the 45 shitshow. Yet she continually plays the tonedeaf, straightlace suit-wearing politician like Pence, completely quiet on the relentless assault of democracy by this dangerous man. I don't know what she thinks she can get from appearing at the Idiot's CONvention at this point, and i hope sensible Americans can see thru her hypocrisy. She's never impressed me and has only reinforced my regard for her as an opportunistic hypocrit.

Black heritage from her father's side. Democrats revel in diversity given we recognize the value of diversity. Republicans focus on their white nationalist interests, which is all the more puzzling to me Haley is with that party. Who knows, she may not be proud of her ethnicity is all i can say, which is a damn shame.
Anywaze, she certainly does not impress me in any way. I think like 45 her opportunistic prowess got her to where she is - a rise in a party of nonsensical values and whatever trappings that comes with it. Maybe she may get a book deal or whatever out of her gig with the Conman, but history definitely won't remember her kindly.

Maybe she really isn’t legally an American. We need to see her birth certificate.



Well, That’s what the stupid Republicans would say if she were a Democrat.

No way republicans will have a non-Anglo as a candidate. Plus she took down the confederate flag
