'We shouldn't have followed him': Nikki Haley turns on Trump after MAGA riots

Former Trump United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley has turned on former President Donald Trump for his role in stoking the United States Capitol riots on January 6th.

In an interview with Politico's Tim Alberta, Haley said that she didn't think Trump would be a significant figure in the Republican Party going forward, and she admitted it was a mistake for the GOP to help him in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

"He went down a path he shouldn't have, and we shouldn't have followed him, and we shouldn't have listened to him," she said. "And we can't let that ever happen again."

Haley insisted that she was proud of the work she had done for the former president, and claimed that something fundamentally changed in him after he lost the election.

1. I disagree.

He is who he always was.

5. Yep. She's blowing smoke with that one. Trying to absolve herself.

2. Proof of the way he dangled Pence's life out there must have finally struck home.

The timeline. It's indefensible.

4. This is who he always was.

We tried to warn you, Nikki.

6. I think...

... her finger got stuck in the wind. Sorry, Niki Haley-Trump, you are too late and your finger looks water-logged.

7. Still in denial there, Nikki.

That's who he's always been. You're just slow on the uptake.

8. Translation: I want to be president and don't want to face Trump in the primaries

GTH Nikki Haley. You were defending him just days ago. Nothing has changed.

[woodsprite]

9. She's just prepping herself for 2024. nt

10. I guess Nicki is trying to rehabilitate herself. Who cares.

"something fundamentally changed in him after he lost the election." Nope.

11. On January 12, she "we need to give him a break". She's "flooding the zone",

so she can go back and point to a quote as a response to any question that may be asked of her in the future. She learned well from her "lord & master".

12. Oh, Miss high and mighty

has added her 2cents? Gambling that she will be the grown up in the room huh? Lots of dirty to be found and thrown around with you. How much money are taxpayers still paying for that Boeing plant? I’m so happy I left there, but always voted against you. Always.
Let’s go Nikki.

13. "something fundamentally changed in him after he lost the election."

Sure, Trump gave up on mostly "non-violent" means to consolidate his grip on power. But I know that isn't the so called change Haley is claiming. It's a convenient dodge for Haley, another in a string of lies and I am confident that she knows it. But if that is the off ramp that she and other former Trump supporters need in order to jump ship on Trump now, better that then continued loyalty to the man who has caused the gravest threat to America since the Civil War.

16. Nice try Nikki. We all know you want to be president some day...

17. Ambitious Republicans, like Haley, are making political calculations, trying to figure out whether

disavowing Trump now will damage their political futures in two, four or six years. Apparently, Nikki believes the Trump phenomenon will fizzle out, and voters will come to their senses before she declares her '24 presidential run.

18. Far, far too little, much, much too late

If the rabble had captured members of Congress and forced the US government to line up behind a criminal president, she’d be calling them patriots.

How do I know? Because her objection should have appeared DAY ONE with her rejection of any appointment from this monster. What might be the basis of her disagreement? Pick one - the 1980’s housing discrimination lawsuit, the Central Park Five, the destruction of important architecture, laundering money charges at Soho tRump, paying off women, threatening people, failure to pay contractors, the list is endless.

I don’t recall a single objection - I looked for her to supply one, just one but nope. It was all good.

And this creature want to run for President! What a laugh! Maybe she’ll run as a “law-and-order” president!

19. Fuck you Nikki

No one here followed him.

[gratuitous]

20. Wowsers

Nikki, can I interest you in . . .

21. Hahahahahahahahaah!

That just made my day, thanks!
