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

Posted on 06/02/2016 4:44:51 PM PDT by mandaladon

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.

Reminds me of Cruz’ most shameful hour when he inferred Trump was responsible for the Illinois bullcrap.

I used to have a lot of respect for her until the Confederate flag cave-in.

She’s dead.

Sometimes I wonder if the GOP really just enjoys losing. Instead of being happy that we actually have a chance to defeat Hillary Clinton/Bernie Sanders who would BOTH being horrendous for this country..instead all they do is give the Dems everything they need to make attack Ads against Trump..I think some in the GOP are perfectly content with having Dems in power, that way they can play the victim card

1. Conference flag cave in
2. SOTU rebuttal attacks Trump instead of Obama.
3. Endorsed Rubio.
4. Today’s stupidity.

Well I guess she is a Hillary voter. Ignorant witch. Are you listening Republicans in South Carolina? Time to stamp her passport and send her packing.

So frustrating. I had a lot of hope for Nikki Haley when he was first elected. Now she is just another in a long line of disappointing elected Republicans.

whst a dumb *itch

The Illuminati seem to be very fond of propping up ambitious, malleable, and personable immigrant spawn to high places. They don't have a clue about US culture and values, and do their bidding without qualms.

(I no longer regard the Illuminati as a conspiracy theory,now that the likes of Romney, Kristol, Beck, and the Bushes have taken off their masks)

She compares Donald Trump to Roof, a mass murderer and says HE should be civil and respectful?

Trump has embraced the responsibility of speaking up for the American people with a resonating tone.

I wonder if Haley was contacted by the Establishment and “ordered” to make these statements?

I would not put anything past the Uni-Party Establishmentarians.
