S.C. Governor Nikki Haley Holds Nothing Back as She Compares Trump to Shooter Dylann Roof
Mediaite ^ | 2 Jun 2016 | Lindsey Ellefson

Nikki Haley‘s response to Dylann Roof shooting up a church in the state that she governs and killing nine people hasn’t always been perfect. In fact, it’s been cringeworthy at times, but she deserves credit from supporters for eventually removing the Confederate flag from state grounds and denouncing its use altogether. She has a history of coming around on issues and then really hitting them hard. For evidence of that, look no further than her fearless takedown of Donald Trump during her response to President Barack Obama‘s State of the Union address this year.

Now, she is joining Hillary Clinton and Alberto Ciurana in comparing the rhetoric of Roof and Trump, which is sure to go over about as well as her SotU response did.

Here’s what she said about Trump’s talking points to Charleston’s Post and Courier:

I know what that rhetoric can do. I saw it happen.

She went on to say that Trump has a responsibility to use “a civil, respectful tone” in his speeches and campaign process.

In my experience, often times when women direct or make outrageous, snarky comments at/about you, they're just trying to get your attention.

Too back for Nikki, Trump ain't taking the bait.

I guess she just fell off the short (or longer) list for VP.

Actually, he does. Not that you would ever know it from most of the media.

Seems like Trump read her character very well.

Trump knew what he was talking about.

Is that all she said? The headline implied that Nikki scored a big Trump Takedown. I didn’t see it. It wouldn’t surprise me if she does say such remarks eventually. Nikki has been RINO-ing all over herself here lately.

Decipticons.

Run as conservatives, win, get a spot at the trough and sell out to the globalists pushing open borders and cheap labor.

Trump sure is smoking ‘em out.

Sarah Palin must be pissed for not vetting this bitch. I don’t blame Sarah though, there is no way to know how a candidate will re-act to being elected.

Nikki Haley has been one of the tea parties biggest disappointments from day one!

Who appointed this twit as the authority on what speech we are allowed to use? Ever hear of the First Amendment Gov. Haley? It was specifically intended to guard the freedom of political speech, not some foul-mouthed rapper’s filth.

Those jackboots ain’t made for walking, Haley. We’ve seen them before and know what they can do when worn by people like you.
