In calling out Trump, Nikki Haley warns of a more sinister threat [View all]

On Jan. 7, one day after a horde of Donald Trump's supporters brazenly, disgracefully and illegally broke into the U.S. Capitol Building, Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and former United Nations ambassador under Trump, rightfully called out the president for his unchecked, poisonous rhetoric during her remarks before the Republican National Committee's winter meeting.

Said Haley, in part: "President Trump has not always chosen the right words. He was wrong with his words in Charlottesville, and I told him so at the time. He was badly wrong with his words yesterday. And it wasn't just his words. His actions since Election Day will be judged harshly by history."

Haley is correct. Trump should - and will - be judged very harshly by history. The more one learns, the worse it looks for the president for a few more days.

But, on the heels of that necessary denunciation of Trump, Haley also warned of what might turn out to be a much more corrosive threat to the already unravelling fabric of our republic: the rise of censorship and the "cancel culture."
